like children, we wrap
our fingers tightly around
the end of summer

may we have the privilege to
worry about nothing else

they hum – a bumblebee too, too
still, a phone call that never comes

all winter long,

all winter long,
savoring the

we pickled
last year, when
we worried

i always worried
that i wouldn’t know how to
pick the freshest, sweetest,
ripest vegetables when

snippets of conversations
with fellow shoppers,
even ones who look like
they’re on a mission,
i finally realized
it’s mostly guesswork

about everything
in nothing

we will secretly
worry, lose
a night of sleep
here and there, hope
our bodies can
recover enough
every morning
so that we
may never be
this careless again

carry so
heavy a burden –
allow the seconds
to dissolve

of nerves that require direct
sunlight
every once

in awhile – don’t be afraid
to color outside the lines
