Breaking out of the
Cocoons of past selves bursting
Out with wings spread wide
Cocoons
journey
Myths
The myth of no need
Of help from others, keeping
Us in untilled soil
Spaces
Earthly spaces that
I can be all versions of
my blossoming self
Good
The good in you sees
The good in me together we
Making things better
Waiting
Waiting so long to
Be who I thought I should be
But found her else where
Continuing
New journeys, new ways
Trails leading you to a new
View of who you are
Intimacy
That kind if intamacy
That builds
When you sleep in the same space
Share the same work
Learn together
The type of intimacy that builds
When you know each other
At your most vulnerable
At your most desperate
At a time when you are
Figuring it all out
That’s what I hold on to
Moving water
Moving water cleanse
Each ripple an old story
Tales replenishing
Prosperity-a series of haikus
Part I
Sometimes I try to
Prosper like y’all forgetting
My family-regret
Part II
Then Remembering
That I don’t want that kind of
Prosperity, nope
Part III
Mimicking only
Leads to a repeat of long
Forgotten mistakes
Part IV
Instead I choose a
Path that we can take while
Leaving no one out
Part V
Together we go
Forward cherishing each step
Hand and hand-welcomed
Outside again
Outside again basking
In the glow of friends, family
Remembering though
