Continuous Return
The years overlap
as they remind us
that all of this
is only a moment,
our perspective changing
with each sunset
/sunrise, each leaf opening
/falling, each point of light
in the infinite star-filled sky
reminding us of the possibilities
behind and before us,
yet contained in the moment,
as one year passes
and another begins.
Kerfe Roig often has a way of sending my mind in unexpected directions,
as she has done with her pantoum, January 2022: into the darkness.
