poetry

wandering

wandering

almost every night these days
I peer into what will be

there’s a grace in not wanting
not asking or deciding
just waking up
without choosing a path
but that’s not for tomorrow

we’re still weaving the rope
that leads back home

poetry

slippery slope

slippery slope

the slightest bit of justification
and the ground shifts
tilts toward what I want
until it comes rolling my way
and I’m trapped under its weight
listless legs kicking in that void
under a tent of stars
waiting for the lights to go out

poetry

n vs. ñ

n vs. ñ

an energetic n
undulates
says nyu
changes everything
with one little wave

and I barely know
how to make it
