Year of the Horse

why's it been so damn long?
it's almost as if these words didn't need me to say them.
i've been feeling and learning like never before,
so it is peculiar to move forwards without a supple channel of rhetoric to chant my frictions.
more things coming so profoundly into focus these days,
like the power of my heart
and the chance to move on.


It's all so dangerous,
fresh, invigorating, and sometimes even appropriately sketchy.


I am open
shining brilliantly
gathering the seashells of my affections
into the castles of a mirthful court.
