the love i have for every letter

that makes up every word

of every lyric of this song

had the power to stop me in my tracks

during my morning run

and pop a squat against a tree

alongside beautifully decrepit gravestones

and let my mind wander

and my soul gravitate

with the rest of the souls around me

to the love y’all

and today i’m gonna

spread some more love

starting with that

fuzzy caterpillar

that i saved from the

doomed fate of a truck tire

on my run back home
