welcome to the intersection
where all the tiny minutes meet
and history leaves fingerprints
that stretch like evidence in all directions.
junction is another word for realize,
for reckoning.
you can’t escape your shadow
but you can use it to track
where you came from,
to understand where you are.
may you stand, and find traction .
may you find trace of connection.
may the day be bright.
may the way forward be clear.
