Existing for its own Sake

There’s something to being

a shadow on the ground

to marking hot concrete

without harm or sound

There’s something to being

a voice on the phone

a comfort, a softness

to one far from home

There’s something to being

a surface for wind

when it curls ‘cross your neck

and tickles your chin

There’s something to being

to being

to being

to being

There’s something

to be

to be
