For the Vagabond

Traversing streets, you answer to strangers They’d say they don’t know kindness until you. You would welcome new people and ventures, And leave them inspired as you bid adieu.

Weary as the road, scathed in scouring;  You find yourself, but your truth's unfulfilled. Being lonely is part of wandering. Thank you for braving through the journey still.

So in lifetimes you spend chasing the sun, Know that my door's open when you're undone.

In Plain Sight

Hot air bristles the skin of indifferent students. They are told to look up the sky and tell its story, even if the sight they see is so normal that it doesn’t need to be captured in a sentiment. Little do they know that they will never see this sight again, where the clouds puff up like smoke in the mildest blue background. This is not normal; this can’t happen elsewhere.

If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?

i exist, lately, in a field of exhaustion. the reeds are tangled in navy blue & bleed into the sky & into me, in that space behind my eyes where my consciousness lives, but only barely. in that space i feel sunken deep in mud, that river kind where you don’t move in fear of un-earthing some long dead or long sleeping creature. & what if, then, i discover i am the creature? all that fear & a dark t-shirt, my pants rolled up mid-thigh to avoid the water.

“Let us just exist together– yes, you and I, nocturnal roses, you ripple in my lips like a wave: humid, solid, tender, refined; you bulbous crown of red dye. I hear you sobbing to me, with your flute of despair.”

— Chuck Akot, from Vague Owls, Nocturnal roses
