I'm not an 'ingénue' anymore - that’s been vitiated. I'm not innocent, pure, naive or vulnerable - which are technically, 'ingénue' requirements (I don’t make the rules). That being said, if no one has an objection, in terms of narrative trajectory, I'd like to be considered a 'fémme fatale' until further notice. . .

You are the sun in the solar system, Somehow pulling everyone into your orbit. Even passer by asteroids like myself Get captured and entranced By the gravitas of your enigma. Forever stuck in the same trajectory, Always circling back to you. How do you do it?

In Orbit
The clock smiled at us as if it knew we were lost. Unable to see the path, we continued along on the wrong side of the ones and zeroes. Tired of our aimless float; fumbling along in the vacuums of our ignorance. With all kinds of navigational aids to chart our journey we mostly relied upon the compass tattooed over our hearts While lost in the chasm of our indecision our bodies and minds listed. Our attempts to unpack the endless parcels of our unrest ... proved futile. So carefully, we re-learned the ABCs and re-interpreted the Western Canon, finding that it was only by closing our eyes that we were able to see; were able to feel. However, the rhythm was off which was immaterial  as our feathers were ruffled and the rhetoric was pluming. With the overture of the new day dawning we turned our back on the algorithms of our demise and shucked off self-imposed limitations. You see, it was thirty seconds to midnight and the world that never seemed to want us needed us now. So like anemic royalty, we took flight breathing down rarefied air and gulping the nuances of our resilience to swallow: our intergenerational trauma one more time.

Plumage
Not lost in sleep ascended to a dream a secret none other have seen if that doesn't tell the dream who can interpret? How the world will end? First tell how did it begin? What's true forever is never a sudden discovery rolls out in trajectory!

When Will Messiah Come
He follows the same orbit Everyday In the same motion, Devoid of any thrilling emotions, With desperate dedication Without changing the pace of his muscles Or the direction of his notion Day after day He isn't allowed to run Or shift, tilt, step Even a tiniest bit, away from this linear trajectory Which he tries to bruise and beat Using the enduring might Of his legs Yet every morning He opens his eyes To the searing light Of a sun Pushing and shoving him Mercilessly, Towards the place of his daily grind And exertion

Orbit
Like a bird We have a lot depending on the right direction. But Unlike it We have too many doubts and questions. Spread your wings but don’t span out nervously. God gave moral compasses to Guide us personally. Never be afraid to go and do your best. Keeping pulling straws until you’ve built your nest .

Flap now Fly later
Out of the blue And into the black A thought passed through my head It was you who crossed my heart And went right out The exit wound

TRAJECTORY
*Life is curved in the shape of a flower, a curved trajectory that loops back on itself repeatedly until the last petal falls.*

Life
the shadow picks a nice path on your face; across planes, in wells I never drank from, on a pink bud from which I stole sugar instead of tasting. Where words slipped I thieved, not kissed. shadow hovers as a bee searching for pollen in darkness. It loves all the places I missed because I substituted French phrases for your limbs; spoke to your light in a language I didn't quite know yet but sounded like like the poetry found in light's absence.
