Would you like to start your poem
in the dark
here with me
a glowing pen in your hand
your beating heart will tell you
now
it's time to start
it's safe
a good idea to have the world
begin
I would like to tell everyone to not be afraid of letting go of old things; I want to burn away all oppressive structures. Nothing's ever really carved in stone. I want to fly, and people to fly with me. I tell you, it's gonna be great :)

It is dark. Night. The girl opens the window,
looks up to where she knows Orion's belt resides behind the clouds.
She thinks now she understands time.
She thinks she sees time growing out from her heart
in an illuminated spiral, flashing green,
and not ever the other way around.
She imagines the stars looking back, benevolent and still sincere, still there, in the night sky.
Still there now.
And now.
And always.
Time is nothing you have. It is something you are. You cannot run out of it.

Time becomes
something
else
altogether
and you try to wrap
your head around it
until you feel:
this is not
for the head at all
β€œAt certain junctures in the course of existence, unique moments occur when everyone and everything, even the most distant stars, combine to bring about something that could not have happened before and will never happen again. Few people know how to take advantage of these critical moments, unfortunately, and they often pass unnoticed. When someone does recognize them, however, great things happen in the world.”

Look closer
I'm smiling
by no means *******
Two feet
in two places
the blades
no real threat after all
Look closer
Me and You Jan 2021
They whisper about the new King and how
he is a bit odd
in several many things
and different

Their heads bow
nevertheless
to address this man
who does not know how
to suppress a stare
to swallow down
any feeling to ban
all signs of insecurity
from his face

They kneel just once
before they are pulled up
in an awkward ****
a strong
slightly shaking arm
commanding them upward
level with an open face
in awe of
what had just happened

A wordless command
You will never be Bystanders
ever again

If that's a spell I speak it
gladly
with all of you

If those bright eyes of yours
are open all the way
to touch your truth
I'll gladly hear it
Every word with all my heart.
