Christopher Robin once said to Pooh:

"Promise me you'll always remember: Your braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."

I'm feeling a little bit small. I almost wish I could be rocked back and forth in mums rocking chair. I can hear the creaking. And I remember how precious the dim light felt as my eyes fell back to sleep. You never let me go. Not until my dreams began. Then you just watched. I love you mum. Happy Birthday!

MIAD

here i am.
my roots finally digging into solid ground.
i am growing.

hot water

it is now august.
i can feel it in my blood like hot water in a kettle.
can you hear the whistle?
a sign of pressure and urgency
so dim yet so intense.
its vibe taking up space
traveling selfishly along airwaves.
then growing
and spreading
the whistle.
yelling.
its pitch clenching the air.
the sweet august air
strangling the humid mess
until rain falls from
baby clouds filled with emotion.
the kettle shakes and quivers.
and then boiling over.
left unattended
hot water everywhere.

You

Your thoughts, when spoken, mean everything.
