most of the time the universe is shrugging
at me and my daily problems
but tonight, tonight
in complete stillness
the universe is hugging me
and my heart opened suddenly-
without meaning to,
glimpses of the self,
I let out of my mouth
and only closed it when too much of me has been said
If we could all for a moment, let ourselves out through confessional conversation,
we would see in ourselves,
the same self

and only closed it when too much of me has been said
If we could all for a moment, let ourselves out through confessional conversation,
we would see in ourselves,
