distressed

i don’t

mean to sound distressed.


my stories

of cracking ribs

and heaving breaths

are not stories

of my brokenness.


rather, they

are stories of my wholeness.


as the stars

love the sky, i love

my heart.


i love my mind.


what inadequacy could

ever exist?


my heartbeat is syncopated

with the excitement of

the stars -

how am i a statistical improbability?


how am i impossible?


i am completely

average

and normal

and run-of-the-mill

in this universe


-and what is that?


perfection.
