Aug 2016
Wind in the lyft hits my hair
Sleepy eyed, eager for my own bed
To look out my own windows
And let the goodness in.

Several of my ladies struggle
At the moment
And I exude all the love I got
I know my radiant energy
It's easy to love
And sometimes you want to just hate
Only one friend of mine truly
Understands
The beautiful inevitable quality
Of it all.

Thinking about your touch
Sweetness
It feels good to stand on my own
And even better to know
You are still right there.

I think there are those who may not
Want to hear in the joy
The newness
And I get it
My god I so get it
But for once
For once
Just
For once.

Tomorrow is Friday
Papers pile up and yawn
I give myself deadlines
I'll soak up my own covers my own bed
As the ladies and I discuss the confidence it takes
The lyft driver gave me a code to write down
Folks question what I can do
And claw for more
I mull it over and swallow
But not with fear

I don't know what to say for my last line
And that's special and cool, too.
