morphic fields

Aaron Lozier/ May 14, 2020/ Poetry

morphic fields
transcending space and time
guiding monarchs to their great,
great,
great,
grandmother’s home
which they never knew existed

guiding dogs to the window
the moment their owner decides
to return home

they are how an acorn knows to become an oak tree
how lions know how to hunt
and how we know how to fall in love

it is also how we know to be afraid
even when there is nothing to fear

it is what makes words flow easily
even when we have nothing to say

still, there is something that wishes to speak
we need only step out of the way
