Where are we now when we were there then, before we became ourselves?

By Meira Droznah 

Woolly on your way

To being Isabella

Are you aware of

Your transformation or

Are you only looking, now, 

For a snuggly place 

Maybe Mossy

We crossed paths at the

Intersection of

October and September 

The fall came and I missed

The day

The Equinox

Is a mountain and a celestial

Event but was it

Consequential?

Just a reference 

And where we met

Was beyond a point in time and

Space

Am I transforming backwards

In becoming the way that

Less is more

And you

Were you always Isabella the

Tiger Moth and

Returning home

And then who was I when I will be 

Me again

I can’t wait to find out

But first a cozy fire

At the crossroads of crumbly 

Orange red brown

Me my crocheted throw and you 

The undergrowth.

Several months ago, I wrote about my son’s high school graduation and how shocked my wife and I were when we learned that he had told the entire graduating class that he was headed for Japan once his senior year ended.
