As One

The rain is eighteen inches or so on the porch

edge.  By my calculus of rainfall, a light one

last night.  Is there never a calculus in our

attempt to understand what we see and feel

and think?  Dreams, off-hand prophecies, 

the Freudian slips of life.  We collect and sift

the collected and discarded elements of our lives

in hope to see a pattern, a proof of life lived.

We are all artist trying to make the pieces fit

or better yet see where they have fitted in 

but not without a sense of wonder 

of how now came to be now 

by what we’ve done, what was done and 

how the two now seem as one.
