The Not Knowing
"Not knowing" is
the mystery that
makes life worth
investigating.
A latent trembling
curl sits tendrils
around my heart.
Its shoots strain
upward to entwine
my mind, stealth
downward to enwrap
my gut.
I close my eyes.
I have a clock ticking
on my life here.
Inhale.
Pray.
So each day
I try to make something
better-like
pruning the hibiscus.
Exhale.
