Migration

Casting off the habit,
an intrinsic, if beleaguered, talent that
leads to new forms and outlets of human
behavior: namely, the collection of
vice. Slow, over rock and vale,
westward as you know it,
firmly right-brained and without
dialogue, our progress was.
A doctor, good at recovery,
an absolute Dedalus of a healer -
and that's on a good day -
is the part I will play in this
spectacle of rebranded invasion.
(Migration.)
And You,
the teacher,
lead by exemplar,
tall as tails, as
steady we marked
time on barks and faded, torn diary pages,
time on
slow enough.
