my phone rings, and i stare at it, wondering,
how do i explain the feeling of opening up,
love, weighing an intense lightness
on my soul, my spirit, my development;


knowing what fits.


i climbed a mountain and came down
came down and still, i remember, how i wanted to stay
longer, feeling that space,
but it was cold and i felt lonely and couldn’t settle in,
be scared,
and cry.


no one ever lets me cry, she said, then realized
it was her own decision to project that on other
people.
