Still unable
to turn lead
into gold
dead weight
into
peace of mind
and freedom from
backbreaking toil.
Close enough that
each effort promises
to balance method
with
what is spontaneous
without which
life is unmoving
or chaos.
More discovery
seems to be
in order
surprising turns taken
arrived at
by intention
given the slip
when
least expected.
It
may be time
to get out
of the lab
and into
the great outdoors.
