Sometimes the mind, like

a very focused mouse, bats

a small failure from

one corner to another

til it’s diverted 

by a more appealing prey

and begins its game

anew. When we’re the field on

which the game is played

and the weary witness too,

we look to the breath

to shift the game, the field, and

the witness’s point of view.
