Yesterday, two boys walked
down the street, palm to palm.
They could have been brothers,
one the caretaker, the other at risk
of running right out into the street.
They could have been lovers,
showing affection in a way
I’ve always wanted.

Time
is more beautiful than money. 
Patience is more beautiful 
than achievement.

I declutter my heart
I make no solace of life or the taking of life.
Only of this pause, waiting for thunder during rain.
