it’s like I’ve heard before
so many times
but only just started
to understand
there’s only this
and nothing else
and this is all we can control
not tomorrow
not the presidential election
not the sun exploding
not the leaves falling on the grass
all we have is a second
this second
and right now I’m in my truck
and I’m looking up
at the fall’s first
dusting of snow
past tree line
as it melts
into granite
in pink dawn light
