When you are 70% sure, act /because the other 30% is reserved for hope /which is doubt turned upside-down.
~ Dean Young
I was satisfied with haiku until I met you, jar of octopus, cuckoo's cry, 5-7-5, but now I want a russian novel, a 50-page description of you sleeping, another 75 of what you think staring at your window.
You bend the nailBut keep hammering becauseHammering makes the world
Just because we have birds inside is, we don't have to be cages. -from Instant Recognition between Strangers
Just because we have birds inside is, we don't have to be cages.
You start with a darkness to move throughbut sometimes the darkness moves through you.
I still love the sound of breaking,the tearing of the page
Just because we have birds inside us, we don't have to be cages.
Everyone says,Come to your senses, and I do, of you.Every touch electric, every taste you,every smell, even burning sugar, everycry and laugh. Toothpicked samplesat the farmers’ market, every melon,plum, I come undone, undone.
