replenish::collectionIV

dear reader,

imagine

standing

shoulder to shoulder

next to me

to the right of me

i reach

with my left arm across

our bodies

and grab the edge of a thick red velvet curtain

i pull it back

a grand light

inches across your vision

emerging

and you feel my right hand

firmly

on the small of your back

replenish, toolboxEarth's fourth collection

(first(glimmers), second(seven veils), third(weavebeenframed!))

as a whisper with my nose in your ear-

if i could love you more i would.

as a testament to all the times we have done this before

as a testament to art being the salvation of the species

againandagainandagainandagain

reconvene

reorganize

replenish

keep trying,

and i'll keep trying too

with locked eyes,

with the guiding light of Now into Next,
