Day 370: Grey

---

∴

the world went grey today,
and with it so i went.

it would not rain nor shine
and the birds that chirped
did so in curious bursts,
correcting themselves
when they felt the silence
they’d disturbed.

 

so i –

as quietly as i could –

laid mulch
and tore down branches,
clearing the broken things
and making beds
for the things that will grow.

 

new life is coming.

even in this still
and somber
air,

it breathes.

∴
