jump start

broken
………… not shattered
the pieces
still fit together
and stick
when glued
a little rough
around the edges
still able to be sanded smooth
frayed
…………not unraveled
a wee bit torn
but far from tattered
nothing that
a stitch couldn’t mend

holding it together
glued & threaded
holding it together
without falling apart

waiting for a day to end
waiting
to blend into the sheets
of one’s bed

waking
when the crow caws
………………….. seize the day
………………………………you lazy ass

wait no longer
for a directional suggestion
jump start
step right
step left
bend forward
bend back
reach higher
………….higher
…………………higher than the sky
stretch your mind
to the outer limits

it’s in the meaning
of
new
of
fresh start

motivation
repairs
the broken
the frayed
knowing hope
is in each new day

jump start
your heart
expose
love
of
and
to
yourself

when sunlight breaks
when the crow caws

don’t think
don’t ponder
don’t deliberate

jump start
