it was bound to happen
but it's not just the work
...it's me.
it would be easy to think
that this too will pass
i hope it doesn't — not the loss
of life (grievous, fear-inducing, deeply, deeply sad)
— but the feeling
of being at one.
of course,
it's not something
we seek, normally,
but perhaps
we'll come to realise
that this is much more life
than rushing
forever rushing
to the next
thing.
