gimme something tender and blue

gimme something green and new

in particular, this frog wallpaper will do

today was a day i felt RELIEVED

to say thank god (thank you god) for

the shiver in my toes,

the inevitable helplessness

in the days' ebbs and flows,

for the beauty in the way one never

knows what may unfold in this day

of tea? in this little bloom of nature

and dust of heartache and hard work

and panic and lust. in the way that

my nails chip red and the sandy

waves of my hair swim gnarly in bed.

in the way that legs curl and glide

and heaven and earth all but subside

into grace and reprise for the love

within us continues to rise

and a sweet gift of music came

to my door and a sweet gift

of music makes me keep living-

breathing; loving more.

( ( thank you ) )

( ( from the bottom of my strumming heart ) )
