A Good Thaw

Thawing out,
movements are limited,
warmth is relative,
but so is everything.
This family tree of relatives
is growing new limbs,
unsustainably so.

This land of hard work
and arbors
ebbs and flows
with the tides
in the harbor.
Export. Import.
Human cargo is overvalued
and oversold.
Employment is inflated.
What are we doing?

I have a fertile wish
to no longer feel
purposeless.
I guess i’m in
the right
place.
