forgiving the places i left behind

iconography;


there is such an audacity in beauty.


i know so little

for an 18 year old girl.


i feel small i feel young

i feel as though

some years of my life

happened and i wasn’t there.


alas, i did not receive an invite.


i hear god’s voice in

the rain on my skylight.

i can’t make out what he is saying?

it comforts me more than

if i knew.


a soft silent

rumble of love.


it’s been raining so much

recently

and i went outside with my dog

and found a star that had fallen.


i picked it up and

thought to name it

but kept it next

to my favourite book instead.


the gifts i am gifted;

the breath i am given.


balance.


and i consider

buying myself a

nice new pen

and driving somewhere i don’t

know and writing replies

to all of the words on the

public bathroom walls.


sometime.


not now -

eternity is not here.

but it certainly is somewhere.
