near year, same girl i’ve always been

time is obsolete ;

i am every moment

i have ever dared

to breathe into.


i meld

from second

to second ,

action to action,

floating somewhere

in between

passion and peace.


it all coexists within me:

yearning and desperation,

peace and acceptance.


my skin is very warm these

days ,

i have not lost or gained,

yet i have changed.


there is no

beginning or end


there never was

and never will be.


i make dresses

out of constellations

and they warm

my skin up more.


what’s in a name?


what is in silence,

if not words

we do not say?


what is in a hug

if not

promises we could

not make?


i write poems

addressed to my

heart and

find every part

of myself along the way.


i haven’t left anything behind,

simply

noticed parts of

me fading back

into where they came from.


people do

not change.


people birth and

die every

day,

with every breath.


i am new every moment ,

new

and pure and untouched.


i am new every breath,

if only

i could remember

to breathe,

even when breath

stings like

drawn blood.


i meet a

new year

with the reverence

of a girl in

love and

am thrilled in its arms.
