why do you linger

why do you linger
longer than you have before?
what are you seeking,

as i stand in the garden,
watering my pepper plant?

there are always more

there are always more
layers to the landscape than
we give credit to –

it takes intention and longer,
much longer pauses to see it

the future is ours

the future is ours
only if we put in the
work, stretch horizons

let’s collect enough

let’s collect enough
golden hours in a lifetime
to string a necklace

longer than the horizon,
more weightless than our eyes can see

let’s let every once

let’s let every once
in a while sit a while longer,
yes, even longer

a day to rest and

a day to rest and
unclog the sink, empty the
vacuum bin, clean out

the freezer, make pizza, let
the dough rest longer, yes, longer

departures come and

departures come and
go as often as arrivals –
we hold on longer

t-minus one month

t-minus one month
before homecoming – suitcases
out and ready, chores

crossed off, two by two, days become
longer, stretched across memories

chasing the sun west-

chasing the sun west-
ward, the shadows get longer,
life becomes a blur

because we can stave

because we can stave
off hunger for much longer,
treasure these moments

when we are together, stow
them away for a rainy day
