Lapidary
To abide. To sit still. To try not to fidget. To wait.
To abide. To inspect. To squint.
To notice the foot is a plinth for the earth.
To lean back. To like the socks.
To tune into ambient sound, to compose a fugue of rustling leaves.
To gulp a glass of lukewarm water, coughing out a mouthful over your laptop.
To panic.
To swing between them, sneezing.
To swell.
To frame. To spin a yarn.
To decide they are here. To know they are always here: a mole’s eye view.
