two steps forward & one step back
& that is still progress.
removing the block between my
head & my mouth that halted
the words from coming out
& i'm speaking up.
& speaking to & speaking with.
i'm learning about inequality
& vegetables & stars.
never doing laundry &
never washing my hair.
correspondence with dad & him
telling me all things must pass
listen to good ole george today.
we sing my sweet lord.
& hare hare the hummingbird
whispers.
i'm growing upward & outward
& downward & sideways.
tuesdays & long plays
about freedom & wishes
doing the dishes.
telling you "yes" & learning
& "yes" i promise i will
come & see you i promise
i'll be your witness "yes"
i promise.

this reminds me of a much more mature shel silverstein poem.
i hope that is a good thing
because i love it.
and
you.

ugh. you are wonderful.
p.s. i think the image of growing in all directions is always beautiful and more accurate.
