after finding a tiny baby mole
who has died
along the side of the road

and place it in the soft leaves of the woods
as a kind and gentle memorial gesture.

wearing an ac/dc t-shirt, ripped up jeans, and velcro shoes
all while wrapped in a cape made from your swaddling blanket
bestows unlimited strength and heroic powers upon you.

to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.”
