my hair smells of the wind
and is full of constellations
and I move about this world
with a healthy disbelief
and approach my days and my work
with vaporous consequence

Dream about it.
Give birth to it in your being.

“We have been called naive as if it were a dirty word
We have been called innocent as though with shame our cheeks should burn
So We visited with the careful idols of cynicism to learn to sneer and pant and walk
so as not to feel the scales of judgment rub wrongly
But we say,
some things must remain simple
some things must remain untouched and pure”

“My grandmother had pale hands
that looked like sturdy veins.
She wrote poetry, too, and sang.
Though she knew few lovers,
I hope here breasts were admired
as mine are
two silver deities
two shining steeples
giving testament to the sky.

— And So to Receive You”

“Upon the streets
a kitten's mew
and beggar's shoe
are calling
and the voiceless
ask to borrow yours
so sweet and always falling.

— Awaken, Love”
