ACORN #2
 
less than 
complete desolation of the seed
there is no oak
to die at night in winter

wanting it to be over before it's over
is the same as
wanting a birth before it's time

letting go and holding on
thanks & praises in springtime
for the sacrifices
of that which nourishes
life

love is a verb verdad?
