Salve in saving see

Knot Thought

I’m catching the worry disease
wondering what’s what
if something I undid
would make a different here
or thought thought bad
could space itself reshape
so hop from was to was
letting present slide
lost in if and when
instead of being
high mountain spring
newly sprung
flowing freely
down fresh firm form
found slanting
in rush to bottom
of problem
resolution
solution
solving
salve in saving see
instead this misery
of what-if be
