Shifter

How can I act absent when I am so present,
taking in knowledge that is not my own?
In a moment, my path is swept away with the wind.

A wind-up toy, wobbling back down;
A tree with dangling branches
Reaching, alive with life and then death.
Outside of the object and then within.

Perhaps I'm just a shifter.
Fluxing in and out of this place.
Focused and then forced to be embedded.
