no-see-ums

go go weeks
prepping, packing
a lengthy index
list and check
run run days
detaching us all
so we could unwind
but my mind
was forgot in the busy
and in bed
in the quiet
in the tropical air
no-see-ums arrived
to my wnreadyied head
pestering doze
and dream
go go away awake
run run away the ache
clear my heart
be still
and soon I would sleep
and even release
and wake
after-all
in Florida

And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. – Mark 4:39
