Day 193: Crossroad

---

∴

there is another answer to a crossroads
that people rarely give,
i doubt they know it’s there.

i didn’t.

 

sometimes right is completely wrong
and left will leave you lost;
straight ahead is clearly crooked
and going back just brings you,
well…

back.

 

there is another direction at a crossroads
that people rarely see;
it’s a strange and obvious arrow
that has sore evaded me

 

for in frustration, i look down
and in exhaustion, lay.

but there,
in a gravel-backed,
intersection hammock,

i rose, once,
my eyes,
to the sky,
and i saw…

 

up.

 

and up is a direction, indeed.

∴
