my cold wet hair can't chill me
neither can my open window.
my blankets are on the floor.
i don't need them anymore.
i gave my mom my space heater
and haven't worn gloves in months.
i leave my thick socks in my drawer.
i don't need them anymore.
because i was shivering for so many months,
maybe so many years, and i loved a far away moon
for all that time,
and i thought that moonbeams were bright enough
to keep my heart from going numb,
of course i was wrong,
and the sun rose eventually
and dew disappeared
and even the clouds i didn't see for so much of my life
clapped as they watched me
learn how to breathe
remember how to love
live in the sun
and heal.
You challenge me to write better, and I will never succeed.
