May your tear-stained
cheeks glow from within,
sanctuary is a sunshower,
and your love rebuilds…
I am not porcelain,
I am not fine china,
my hair is natural,
thank you very much…
On the dark days,
remember today’s
sun rays,
remember it’s hiding…
They say,
pick yourself up
and carry on.
I look at my baggage…
What American poet wrote about a landmark horseback journey as a way to elevate someone who, like himself, was of small stature? …
What British author wrote a children’s book about a scoundrel who destroyed a gardener’s hard work? …
If you take a look
at this painting,
you’ll notice a bear…
the car hugs the middle line
and blares its yellow lights
in my windshield,
my whole chest and neck…
You and me,
we talk constantly
about everything
we’re thinking…
If I do this,
can’t turn back.
The leaf can’t
unfall…
