Alone

Alone in the moment, the present, and I breathe her in.

I stand alone

in the present.

.

I breathe

her in.

.

The pavement feels sturdy,

the air is cold and clean.

.

The trees are robust

and grow strong

.

roots deep into the earth.

.

The past feels distant

a myth, an illusion, a fantasy

of a state already fertilized

.

into newness

and fluids

of fresh life.

.

I take it in,

realize the future

is now.

.

She breathes now.

She calls to me now.

She lives in me now.

.

Her roots

are as deep

as the tree's roots.

.

Her air as clean

as the air

I breathe now.

.

She is not a myth,

but grows

.

in me now,

.

in the present.

All things

burst forth

.

into this new life,

this future self.

.

This new belonging

and state

of being

which births

.

me here in this spot

in this moment, now.
