(out of the darkness)
I am…
outside spring awakening red poplar buds
sweet here: bees babies chicks soap sourdough sprouts
spicy now: bustling ricochet riots crazy-talk
do it see it now all possible
make it happen
big scale small scale
sleuthing the loophole
breathing in and out hopeful
don’t stop
waking to the full-moon shiny grin
(been slumbering in darkness for too long)
saying yes, always yes to everything life
alive again
