A GREAT LEAP
You
step into the world
unconscious. You take
a
great leap and fall on
your
face. The world
stores
your hopes and
dreams,
your language,
and
your dark secrets.
You
head out the door
and
climb invisible stairs.
You
try to find a home
in
no particular direction.
The
world takes your name.
You
become a bird and
take
flight to the end of
the
world. There’s a house
there
in need of a door.
THE
DIRTY BOOK
The dirty book fell apart in my hands.
There
was no way to put it together.
The
pages were yellow and full of bugs.
The
bugs ate most of the book leaving a few
words
that strewn together could form
a
simple sentence or a new language.
OVER YOU
I want to be over you.
You are not the only woman.
Just like changing a shirt,
I will take you off of me
and never put it back on.
I want to find peace of mind.
I want to clear the air.
I want to walk in the sun.
I want to walk the streets
without thinking of you.
