I am so many things,
like the fighting gloves of an octopus,
bruising statements
across the clean sky.
I've lifted the how
and dropped the why.
I am so many things,
still learning to live in peace
with this crowd in my heart.
Praying to God
that my hands can open this cage
and free the innocence
into the air of infinite art.
Your form works so well here--and for some reason as I was reading I starting thinking about Purcell's Music For a While---I think the last line feels of that style to me--I am sure there are many renditions of it on Youtube--Beautiful, esp. the closing line for me

ReplyDeleteLove that!
I really like this. I love the images you invoke to describe your complexities.
