when I am insecure
about my teaching,
I hear her say
YOU JUST GO THERE +
DO YOUR THING.
she,
who always finds
the right words
to pick me up
when I’ve stumbled
OVER MY OWN FEET.
…
BOY,
did he look like
an angel fallen
from heaven lying
in savasana.
BATHING IN BLISS.
…
my sister + me,
we walked towards
the ocean, when I saw
YOU.
I ran towards you,
you caught me,
threw me up into the air
+ we did a little
rock’n’roll dance.
I’m sure we were
beaming at each other
like idiots
walking along the seaside
by the little french town.
YOU,
who for one night
in my teens
were the boy of my dreams.
…
if you could
READ MY MIND,
what would
you want to read.
