Written ‘In Synergy’ with “Napa’s Dream” by Jeff Muzerolle
there’s solace in repetition
it’s why habits
form/steady beat
deep in belly
desires thudding/before bedtime
sigh
all you’ve got now
is a hot shower / like the high note
of another/dream/she/
embraced
change / you got stuck
every sunday same/ farmer’s market
purple plums piled up / irresistible
pull
