Poems
Dec 2013
Sailing
i pick you up from the armpits
shining in the December of yr adolescence
this morning a 19 yr old boy asked me how to spell achievement
this afternoon i saw exhaustion in a single mother's fingers
I saw peace in the bald, pink cancer patient seeking holistic remedies at Whole Foods
the weary barista delights in his tip jar
and this
this is the tip
of the glacier
that is hope
a shipwrecked shore to call home
you are not from here
sailor
do not anchor
yr worries to reality
we all beat the ocean
in our sleep
