Blessings (2022)

An anvil did not drop on your head today.

That is one blessing you can count, I suppose.

Though you may have still felt gripped

in vices of time and loneliness,

wondering if your presence

is reduced to time spent

on or within some machine

proving nothing

to no one,

There is beauty in the fact that

in that state of chaos

you are not alone.

You are that chaos's construction

and its deconstruction.

That is one blessing we can count, I suppose.
