the smallest thing

the smallest thing
(though there is always smaller)
the largest predicament
layered upon layers
of difficulty

you lift one layer
at a time
cleanse it
in warm water and honey
cardamom and herbs
massage it
work out the details

love that
which loathes you

and the smallest thing
(there is always smaller)
will one day change you
under falling locks of moonlight
and fragile folds of darkness
