I didn't know that we could break a silver lining


hummingbirds are daredevils
in freefall

I want to be a raven and do barrel rolls on the world's windy sighs

or be an eagle and just watch, suspended in time.


I met a lost girl visiting from Israel and took her to the beach
and had a nice conversation about life with her
turned a stranger into an acquaintance with a few kind words

I began to descend into the canyon but the guardians rattled and shook me to the bone
