366 Days: Take What You Need

Take what you need.

Erotica in the poetry section.

Morse code paintings that spell spill love.

Mistakes.

Poetry by telephone.

Stained glass truth.

Rivers of freedom.

Clapping hands. No,

better yet, a standing ovation.

Spotted pigs with wings.

A yes to everything.

Pull down the book from the shelf.

Ride the highest thermal.

Leap. Yell.

Punch the keys.

Take exactly what you need.

Wise and fair.

Strong.

Able.

A good dancer.

Joyful.

Confident.

Impractical.

Irreverent.

Trustworthy.

Ready to laugh at all times.

A wishful thinker.

Want to make the world a better place

(in case we get a do-over.)

366 Days: Rare Alignment

Sometimes we are graced with a rare alignment

the tipping of an axis point, subtle

secondary evidence of efficiency,

a spectacle seen once and only once

in our brief lifetime.

Suddenly, a curve rather than a straight line,

cairns appearing then disappearing again.

A suspension of one reality, while slowly

our bones and muscles shift into new spaces.

Expect a new sequence of angles, trust

this rearranging of your capacity for love.
