Grief is Expensive

I think I might be  buying a coffee table  in order to avoid certain feelings 

what used to be ice cream has become  furniture I’m sure it’s a sign I’m maturing
 I know the feelings are coming 
in quiet moments I sense the rumble beneath my 
feet the fire at my back the fifty foot wave above me which is paused for now
 in mid air 

while I place an order on Etsy for a handmade herringbone coffee table

in toasted walnut

Prelude						

one of my favorite ways to see the forestis in the upside down reflection of tree tops in a still pondor a swampI’m not picky
this trick is so marvelous to melook! it’s nature showing you naturewe like to think ours is the only perspective but nature writes poems about itself in the waterand in the skyall the stories of your life are written on the trailand on the riverand everything you could ever know is in the dirt and the leaves of trees
