Groundhog Day
Looking for the lesson
The lake rituals failed
My hands are just wet and cold
Not blessed
I text in a grocery store
I understand
And I understand
But I’ve said please
So many times
I’ve choked on the word
Until my breathing stopped
Hoping for some absurd
Change in fate
All those breadcrumbs
All the waiting
Wondering if I’ll starve
Then I starve
And keep going
There’s a lesson
Beyond my knowing
I’ll find it one day
With Love,
Natalie
