 The illumination of what
is vital, what matters
when pushing becomes
shoving.

Thought it mattered,
the car we drove, the clothes
we wore, thought
it was the wealth we chased,
the accumulation,
mountains of shit
that overflow into garage,
into back closet bursting
at its hinges.  

Took losing to know,
took an entire planet
gasping for air
to show us the truth
we’d lost sight of

it’s people, it’s
reaching out and holding
onto another human being,
it’s arms around arms
and it’s hands in hands
and it’s the hundreds
of friendships
we didn’t even know
qualified as such.
It’s us we miss,
the collective we spread
out like wildflowers,
all waiting once again
for the rain.
