the audacious act of becoming whole

i think about shivering

in the cold


; finding it

charming for a

moment.


are laughs warmth enough?

i won’t freeze away?


(breath)


i think about december

and my secret

love, november.

i think about the place

march is wiggling into

in my heart.


it all sits in my mouth,

makes my jaw

ache,

sits next to my tongue,

in the fleshy hollow

next to my teeth.


my teeth have been so solid

recently.


fusing and entangling

and turning into a

chock of white hardened

enamel.


it’s ugly and hard

and strong but so lovely.


how can it snow in march?


i ponder what im being told.


i ponder sharp edges

and melted snow.


i ponder the girls

i’ve been

and the singular within them all:;


i ponder natasha.


the whole to my parts,

the promise to my hope,

the . to my ,

and i wonder what it is to be whole.


to let every part of me

be and

grow and love together.


to harmoniously

entangle

like vines and flowers and

leafs and roots.


to brave the cold to become a

bit warmer

and allow natasha

to love every single

part of me.


every single part.


i ponder being whole.


i think for hours about

how much i enjoy it.
