Present Moment

stepping astray, i’ve heard denizens say
“present moment,
beautiful moment”
and despite the fact that
i don’t know
what will come out of this
here i am
raw, open, and stinking of honesty

present moment,
beautiful moment
right now
the future is irrelevant
it is my pleasure to be nestling in this wrinkle in time with you
