Cherished collection

Life’s possessions some

made up to impress no one

them purpose unknown

– – – – –

Up above

Eclipses the small

towers over nature too

inhuman ego

Who’s to say as is

when all the world’s but a stage

dailies be playwrights

With every journey

as in life comes twists and turns

but also, flowers

_ _ _ _ _

Bottled up in rows

residue—unlike anger’s

refreshing matcha
