[currency of words]

Edward L. Canavan
[currency of words]

poetry is survival


embedded in the bones


the muscle memory

of tending empty gardens

and learning to make do

with next to nothing


thriving in the dark fields

of loneliness and lost soul


finding endless new ways

to feel alive


in the shadow

of every dying

day.
