I am love

closing down-fuck no
lefty loosey- fuck yes
I can't turn off this glow
I am not the sad girl

I'm in love with the world
and it loves me back
so much love my little heart explodes

Prudence rings

I know what I have to give
and I repeat what I've said before
I am one of the lucky bastards
who realizes
love reflects in mirrors

and those mirrors are my friends
my sisters
my daughters

I might fall off
I might be bruised
but I saddle up
I know the highest highs
and I'm not afraid to FEEL

feel good
feel sad
feel everything

tonight I feel loved
maybe not from the sources I pour mine
love begets love

it can't be helped
I can't turn it off

it pours
it ooozes
from somewhere inside

and I love to give it

tonight I feel low
and tonight I feel happy
my melodrama plays out
and I know no matter what

I win.

So it begins...

purposely

thoughtfully

I am in a moment

actively

precisely

recording it in my mind:

today it was your face

brand new

as a child upon waking

it was mingled contours

it was indecipherable bodies

it was the morning sun

filtering through my blinds

warming my face

painting our world gold

this is one of the moments

I will choose to recall
when my grandchildren ask if I have had a happy life

this is the love that I have woven into myself
THIS, is where it begins....
