start now.
don't wait for some arbitrary coloniser calendar date, yet
another grand display of hope and glitter champagne;
you know it gets stale so fast and that rarely
lasts much beyond the landfill tinsel.
so start whenever you fancy, maybe
even today, or even just relaxing
a little more, a little more often
in this moment. gifting a gentle,
small spacious welcome-
hardly anything at all,
so hidden and tiny
only you see, only
you know shifting
compassionate
increment
change
and
change
to nurture
the kind of future
you yearn and determine
are working toward here
now
