✦ RESILIENT PACKET / JAGGED CRATER ✦

Our blossoms are gone,
blasted by heat and wind—

deployments,
still doing their work
in another form:

a resilient packet,
dense distro,
you can see it in the air—

just the other side
of the Japanese maple,

leaf-shadowed,
watching the field continue—

but here—

a clamp on my jaw again,
a tooth still asking for treatment,

what’s left of it now:
a jagged crater,
an open insistence,
a signal that won’t distribute.

The blossoms scatter,
become everything—

this stays,
localized,
unresolved,

a hard edge
in the system.

Still live.
Still transmitting.
Still mine.
