softness

i could fit in any boot

now i fill soles like thick snow

how lovely it is!

i am as soft as the love that surrounds me

i am as soft as the ground

i'm softer than i was before

slowing and staring

smiling, what is looking at me

i think it's attractive

my hair soft down my soft shoulders

blush sweet on my soft skin

i think

it's like bees in the summer, all of those

quick started winter fires that blend early blue sky with the late pink

woman, girl and her body, hers, blending sky and sea foam, the night was dark and we ran to the bottom of the water

i am so soft, i melt into myself every day

and tomorrow i might be different. 

what's better than loving what you have?

soft underbelly of sebasticook lake on my toes and as we lay on the rock

the sun was fading 

and all

i could 

wonder was my softness

and the stars and the bugs came together like a round fog settling

swarming light in the blackness

how sharp unfeeling is, whispering and - 

- gentle summer reeds hissing and - 

- time splitting heavy around the ears and - 

wondering how soft i am.
