Manifesting Presence

Could it be any different?

emerging night

stretching through the last

light of day

twisted intestines

unknotting after this day

recuperating

these temperature shifts

taking their toll

gentle trembling

as this body gets on track

this silence

It could be only what it is.

    Frank you bring to mind that Dave Matthews Band song, “Dancing Nancies.” You’re right,
    “It could be only what it is.”

    The eternal rhythm. It is what it is, as my son says in reply to almost everything.

    “It could be only what it is.” So true. I suppose it’s up to us what we make of it.

    Those twisted intestines got to me! I’m happy that it was followed by recuperating.

    My kids always told me, “It is, what it is.” Bravo Frank. Nice to see you again.
