How We Stay Kindled

How We Stay Kindled

Staring at your back
I'm here
and wondering how it started
lying next to you bewildered.

What is it that makes us continue
when perhaps a spark is lost?

And you turning over
giving a squinted
and a tired smile
as you drift back away
to some bright place

I see how it works
falling again and again
unnoticed
but felt.

-Matthew Koutzun
