Figuring out the things

that hold me down 

from true expression 

has been surprising

Trigger me more

Out of the millions

of dots that make up

the Universe

I pulled out trust

just to try it on

It filled me to the brim

and I felt the warmth of

"lucky" in my bones

Release the new day

from the corset

you put on it decades ago

Do same with people 

around you

Looking to have a meal

that drips down my elbows

into my soul

Messy juicy life

We say

the winter was too long

and summer left with drops of blood

donated to mosquitoes

We say and say

But how does it make you feel

to burn the stove 11 minutes

into August
