what shall i write today
on this scrawny paper?
when a lion decides
to grow wings
and the old man wants
to become a toddler again.
when fire is ice
and ice is something else
when a melting *** can't hold heat
and loses its shape.
when a heart is prancing
and legs grabbing
when a man is not a man
but a rocking chair
swaying back and forth
and back
and forth
and back
and forth
I lost my therapist more than a month ago on a sudden accident. In this fleeting moment of life, I'm learning to depend on myself again. Thus, new writing. Imperfect, but needed for me. Very needed.
