It’s not a great work, this —
my daily journal, my daily
survival. Not insights to broadcast,
to make headlines, to go viral.

Just one chronicle
of one daily quest, one daily effort,
one life shining. All I can do.
Still enough, perhaps,
to save my own soul

And who knows what worlds
are contained in each salvation?
How many trees might be
in one apple?
