whenever im sad, or angry, or can’t hold any emotion, feelings running over my head and draining off in waves. i look to the sky
today she looks back with loving blues, streaked with violet orange. she offers me the gift of memory.
i run to lookout hill to get a better view i find nothing but tree backs and questions the sun is pouring on us. you see how we smile & laugh and stand a few inches closer, lean in a bit further. an unprecedented infection. a lethal lightness, feathers tipped with glossy poison conspirators and traitors. i see them both. a friendly nod and dancing eyes to friends. a (hopefully) menacing glare at enemies. i want to grab them by the shoulders, shake them til they’re silly, and tilt their heads at the sky. i want to say “look” look there. the miracle waiting for you. stare in its eyes, let deep breath in, and say hi.
