The Truth that is you

“But a truth that don’t change is a truth to befriend” Boy and Bear

How to let go?
Old truths
Need burying
How we gonna do it?
Seems like everything concrete

We forget
Where to gather
When to put down medicines
How to give
Receive
The interplay of respect
Relation
Trusts rooted in soil
Ceremony in a casserole dish
As we set out extra plate
Care for a neighbor
Share a burden
Hold a truth

That don’t change
Let it entrance you
Let it wind through your blood
Let it patch your wounds
Till new flesh grows,
You know
Stronger even as the aches
Befriending that truth
That held you firm
In the darkest time
That truth that is you
