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.
