Tectonic plates shift

Forcing up ever growing

Mountains of regret

High pressure settles

It’s warmer outside than in

How can I pause time?

Fear of the future

And attachment to the past

Are both in this box

As the stars appeared

From hazy sunset cirrus

We quickly lost count

The burning sunset

And the orange firelight

This is all we need

Sticky mud oozing

Between my toes and upwards

A barefoot crossing

A fork in the road

Yet another window closed

Life is just choices
