Writing

Every day — 

Monday through Thursday, 

starting at 2:30 pm, 

I grew wings. 

Peaking when reaching for the birdie. 

Gusts of wind and floods were my fuel to hit the

there's just so much I want to say, to pour out from me into you

but where to begin?

it begins home, at home, my head, the house, the lawn

the yard where I begin to understand how to be a human being

If curiosity killed the cat, then homo sapiens sapiens is closer to felis catus than humanity would like to admit, which is all the more reason to reach for new frontiers.

Dear World, 

Remember 
that everything you know 
was learned 
from someone who once 
wondered, 

and everything you do not know 
will vanish 

Were we glued together

like sticky, Japanese rice, 

our hearts

would've pulsed

in harmony

without a thought

for the other's

demise.

i begin 

unbroken,

round as the moon,

bright

with autumn,

heavy with seeds,

complete in 

my silence.
