Poem
Prayer of Abundance
I have more than enough
pieces of myself to live
off of: crystal lights pointing
their fingers into my open eyes
through the whisper ripples
in my snowdrift crabapple tree,
planets far enough outside
the corners of my eyes
that I don’t have to worry
about their intentions,
fresh moments of internal
combustion like a new star,
ideas always slinking back
into my shadows. I have taken
the smallest amount of space
and whooped it into a joyful nebula
of comfort and beauty. I am
surviving and alone and I am not
lacking in anything to make
my life as fertile as it is,
and may it always be so.
