My Feet Sail On Sweetheart Shadows, paper collage, 2021
i. there is waiting and then there is waiting the whales of enlightenment don’t happen by themselves don’t blossom upward like an overcoat don’t hitch a ride on blue jean sunsets ii. a poet is guilty of childish reasoning a daffodil certain of its own destruction a post-it note to the heart: don’t un-dream what you cannot change iii. my feet sail on sweetheart shadows on the winds of desert pianos at midnight, i walk the walls wade in a sea of saffron umbrellas you and me, we’ll make love like atoms in the kitchen i am a ballerina counting sheep howling like the weather report

So many good lines 🙂 I love “a post-it note to the heart: don’t un-dream what you cannot change”..a gentle reminder to hearts that long to change what’s already done, what’s already shaped who they are and who others are..and so let’s become a graceful “ballerina counting sheep”..unable to change what is..but able to change what yet will be.. with how we dance..well done, my friend.
