Seth Jani

Arc

Elude nothing.
The world is so complex
It becomes simpler
By simply being here.
Take in the textures,
The multiplicities,
The wings that in their
Downward arc
Brush against our faces.
Becoming light, or rain,
Or snow.
Becoming the place
Where sea-birds nest
In the crooked arm
Of darkness.
