Freedom, Flower.

A love poem for myself

Written 02 Dec 2014

Feeling cold without a heaterbox, but
free
now, too.

I was anxious at first.
It was cold.
What would become of me in the future?

I’ve been here before:
there were flies buzzing ‘round my head in early hours of a late night
but now I’m really a sunflower, warm & brilliant inside, & alive.

Now it is the future
and apparently I’m just fine—
warm under blankets that were mom’s, are now mine.
