Descansos

Descansos

time,

fluid

wild and constant,

each fork

bending life

back upon itself

 

it’s a mad dash

of braided time

we share,

with its hairpin turns

and unscripted detours

 

our defining moments

catalogued

into a winding

patchwork

of crossroads

 

each mile marked,

not by what we kept

but how we lived,

who we loved

 

memorialized

roadside tokens

of remembrance

woven into

the geography

of our lives
