how are you?

months have passed crawling
like the lazy flow of a quiet stream
bubbling not as if afraid to disturb
the things it passes by
changes are constant, yes,
but sometimes such changes are unnoticed
as a single lock of gray hair
buried unseen in a mass of vibrant black
unnoticed until there's enough of it
to be seen to say we've changed
and so i stay the same
a statue after a year it was free
of the sculptor's shaping hand
darker from exposure to the elements
yet beneath the surface remains
the artist's work intact
spared by fate and circumstance
from drastic measures to change it
for these are the changers of everything
and they touched me lightly
but you-I haven't heard from you
for months-they embraced tight
i hope you're ok.
