Attentiveness – a poem by Sanjeev Sethi

Attentiveness

Solitary at a streambed:
I speak to myself
about the blockages
at bounds.

This isn’t the dictate
of downtime ardor
but occlusion
of another order.

When antiphons
come back at the seams:
it’s according to Hoyle
to buckle before the all-powerful.
