respite

a bit taken from the dream drilled down
(a toast to) the mean marrow of bones
breaking

if consequence is delivered swift--than association and action connect
if slow to years of actions pass--consequence creeps like a steady quiet blood beat--
than what learning takes place?

perhaps reflection
a fixation
black holes roam the universe looking for milky time to stop-
action dropped

continued tear---stretching across---open up almond and slide inside
warm growth hugging my floor

and in the distant is an old sign 'familiar' and 'remember'
'this way to recycled happening'
