Still

In the bare bones
of a waking day,
I sit.

Still.

War and rumors of war advancing.
Overtaking.

Pigs rush en masse down the steep bank. To their demise. Leaving one madman behind.

Now clothed. Calm. Coherent. And in his right mind.

The news spreads. People come from town and countryside to see for themselves. Hear eyewitness accounts.

The journals come in all sizes. Most have survived extremes. Dust and drought. Mold and humidity. It shows.

They hold my life records. The common, daily occurrences of a cross-cultural life. The ongoing spiritual battle.

And the struggles of our children in the midst of it all.

Constant illnesses. Anxieties. Hurt. Fears.

In dust and drought. Mold and humidity.
