It’s not an order, necessarily,
nor a mere suggestion.
It’s something in between.
Maybe an insistent affirmation that

I’ll be able to do even more.
That’s just the order of things in life.

now unraveling
right before my eyes as my
heart is worn thread bare

I hope that as the day clears
my mind follows suit
