The orchard floor
is moldering proof—
things don’t simply
fall away,
it’s that
they’re
attracted
to
+
and what
of all the detritus
that gathers
around the soul—
as we shed
layers
of habit,
where do
they go?
*Allurement is another guiding power of the universe that looks at how the universe holds itself together. For instance, gravity keeps galaxies in place. The attractive force of electromagnetism holds together the atoms and molecules of our body.
A good word for such a concept. “Layers of habit” is so true. But I like the idea of rotting fruit being on its way to holding the earth together.
