Clash of the Titans

in the wafers

and cabled fibers

the bits and bytes

of malware and antivirus

clash for supremacy

over the operating system

in the garden the

battle unfolds

at a different pace

boxwoods push

a little sap

to fight whiteflies

roots below share

their thoughts about

what green life

might dance in the air

with each passing day

i miss you more

struggle to hold

these frozen memories

these fallen parts

to learn what

to let go

not to let go

my heart beats

pumps the same old

nourishing blood

through these

chugging arteries

and blue veins

my mind wired

to accomplish

repetitious tasks

to watch the past

to plan for the

next great adventure
