buzz buzz

instead of getting interested
i'll drink coffee
busy bees outside my window
inspire a career change

this will have to do for now

we are so busy trying to sell each other stuff

we have forgotten how to live

or why

you are not the biggest or the brightest star
you are my sun

we are almost 80 percent water
and corporations are buying it all
and selling it back to us in plastic bottles

how can they buy and sell what we are made of?

my dad's chin

is a strawberry butt.

i miss him.

why don't people know what to do?

the way my cat knows what to do
or a bird
or a bear
or a whale
or an elephant

they do what they do
because it is all they can do
and they do it so well

the wild ones know
and they will fly or swim or walk
thousands of miles
because that is where they are going

and now i am doing what i do
is this what i do?

lead with your heart

yoga class tonight
hip openers like floodgates
inversions let the weight from my chest
spill out my head and onto the mat
one breath flows into one breath flows
i hold mine
for the fear that i won't have enough
for what is next
