i have become am becoming
adept at
exploring small spaces
in small moments
when time is short to climb a new mountain trail
turn longing sharply right and down into nearby wash
surprising a rabbit in its run
desert broom pushing up through a rotten log I’ve
never seen before
sand shoved tracks telling some mystery about chase and run
exploring the space I am always confined in
the grey folds inside
and thinking about codes for opening spaces and aspects
to let all the lonely potentials flower
