Text

It’s already always.
Did you know?
Turn inside out
to take it in.

Somersault down your
hills of thought
tucked in circles
the beginning
the end.

Where did you start
and when do you stop
if it’s already always.

Clasp hands
of here
with now
and dance.

I’m here.
You’re now.
Together we last.

It’s already always.

– Jo Ford
