good reason to pause
motivation in hiding like a child
waiting to be found
clues like breadcrumbs
swept to the wayside
they’ve traveled this far
unlikely to succumb to any element
thrown their way
most times life goes on
but when a breath is suspended
there is good reason to pause
june two thousand twenty-three
