eyes desperate
her frantic fingers

I tell myself
to be myself
in fall fails
to catch fire
leaves me cold
in winter
refuses to green
in spring
summer plays
it will not
it is time
to change
my story
Awesome
to imagine
there is

the courage
the downright

guts
to forgive

Being
a present
to present
in the present

Through my bedroom window
this came
