Proof

I felt a little stuck

for no good reason

so I scrolled through my photos

to look for proof of life-

what have I snapped lately?

A lake, a piano, a daughter,

a meme, some trees, a flourish.

These constitute life

or maybe just dreams of life

– is there a difference?

The selfie with aging smile,

a series of photos of vibrant gardens,

screenshots of chats to remember

tell me I was someplace though

I haven’t moved much.

How do you prove life

if it’s but a dream?
