over

peace over angst
intention over osmosis
love over anger
growth over atrophy
trust over fear
wellness over illness
presence over withdrawing
laughter over sullenness

An alley. Pitt-bull, sewer gas, condenser unit. Arkansas tumbleweed, as we used to call it when a Walmart bag blew across the road. Here, it's just called trash.

Still, my spirit is filled with affirmations. Darkness for thirty steps. Then another telephone pole, and a new arc of light.
