Streams of Meaning

I awake, dead like winter
A bird sings
Every weekend:
Fat Balls and Peanuts
Seed spilled to the ground at least
I maybe saved something else

Lists and lists of lists
Trello-promised purpose
Archived to the cloud
What I am left with
Today, Everyday:
A Maintenance of meaning

Poems here
Stories there
A little Open Source
I look at GitHub's graveyard;
Meaning abandonware

Transforming a house
Tidy, Paint, Build, Move
A trail of meaning
Dissolved by others' will
I feel the structure's soul
"You must prove
You belong."
Impassive judgement
Like trees, but in masonry

The garden, living change
The pets, all but children in name
The work, building another's dream
Life continues like a stream.
