Make it happen.


possibilities are those clouds,

dollops of ivory cream that speckle my pale sapphire sky

that i reach for and mold into little shapes 

and a straggly halo that illuminates my planet, but


soon, they become strangling,

amassing and twisting into murk,

leaving me to suffocate in a mass of ashen dust bunnies. 


before, i would screw my eyes shut as i waited

for barrage and flood, the

compost for that undergrowth of 

brambles lodged in my cranium.


now, i’m no longer a stranger to downpours—

i have grown to 

bask in the imminent petrichor.
