There Is a Yes
each of these scenes
alongside your most heart-written wishes
stray foolish dreams
and the ten million mundane moments
each a grain of sand
meandering along the liminal expanse
on an unfathomable sea

When I Love You Well
I never did give it
you cannot send it back
cannot burn it with a summoning song
or dash it to the cold stone floor

I Cannot Wait for You to Know You Are Good
What if today is the day you finally understand
no effort is wasted
the only way to do it wrong is to give up growing
because you keep thinking you are doing it wrong?

The Story of Your Life
In this moment, consider that your consciousness might be a magical pinhole poked through the shell around the closed system, a personal wormhole bubbling in oxygen from elsewhere. Perhaps you are here specifically to supply this singular energy, to smuggle the Universe some essential nutrient that it cannot get inside the egg.
