even now
we could be happy
even now
breathing in
filling our bodies with right now
from the dirt below us
from our toes to our knees
hips up our spines
shoulders to earlobes
the tip top of our heads to beyond
to the stars
breathing wide
across our wingspan
into that sacred and constant silk web
where we belong
breathing deep
inhale back to great grandmother's bosom
exhale seven generations of blessings
that will come through our
next choices
even now
we can be present
even now
life is right here, still
an erotic pulse kissing your jaw line
a restlessness of mind: too much, too little
there's still someone you are longing to see
someone who startles you with simple pleasure
just because they exist
even now
we can anticipate harvest
be shocked by the thunderclap, the storm
laugh at the abundance of our grief
and our earnest attempt to avoid the inevitable
we are a delight
we could be another's blessing
with our brief and epic lives
where every day
we are given the option
of love
