Risk taking is also
Lavender dreams of being
Ivory streams of temptation
Pull the car over to say hello
To a random stranger
Doff the expectation
Of folding towels a certain way
Showing up for life everyday
In certain kinds where
Uncertainty belies
Lavender and gold
Love you with action
Like skipping rocks
Banana peels
Hopping one from the other
Tiptoeing around not to
Turn over any stability
Keep it same keep it solid
Remaining sumptuous
How can we breathe?
In out in out in out
Music in my head goes
In out in out in out
I need a water spout
Connected to my house
Which is my body
Like a rubber band that snaps
It is the complex thread of life
I will forgo all assumptions
That to be alive is any wayward
Thing or moment in any language
I am betrothed to that which
Comes in frequencies and feathers
Here the water pools in casual ways
Here the thunder claps on its own
We show up when we fox what we can
If even then we have to certainly
But not with tension in our hearts
Rocks crumbled in our brains
Here we show up as we want to
Everyday as we can
This is life the combat
We must fight not just to survive
But to be alive to play
