From standard stock
I meet sweet solidarity.
The soft, stirring, singular sort.
See me ‘neath stained surfaces
Staying still below shadowed seals.
A scuffed but seemly sanctuary.
A shake and shuffle bring me to be
Sustained by simple, sacred seeds.
In silence, solemnly sustained,
I receive and breathe this settling.
