questions
an open invitation stands like a question mark
for something yet unknown.
colors drawn to express
raw emotion
run beyond the lines,
escape their frames,
get all over the walls.
a waterfall constantly goes over,
overflowing over all. a child
gets caught laughing
at the absurdity of a grasshopper.
i am cut more deeply than i remember
being alive before.
life is coming out of me and life
is flowing back in.
you have to forget
to remember.
forget how much it hurts
to love.
forget how much it hurts
to be free.
the tide breaks through the little dyke of sand the boys have made.
my heart is also crossing over.
i can’t keep out the ocean any longer.
time to let the waters carry me
where they may.
