there are signs all around me
and music in my ears and space
i want to stretch out
my mind
my thoughts
my hurts
my secrets
and i will tell you this
i believe in magic
the more i recognize the syncronicities in life.
sometimes things make sense in the most profound ways
and then sometimes things take you for a ride
and leave you on a corner that you never intended to find.
but those unfamiliar corners are the places to find part of yourself
no matter how fucked up you feel about it or yourself.
those are the perfect moments that change your life in some small way.
those are the moments that make you thankful that you can start all over.
there are times that i'm thankful i get to dress up
be somebody else for a while
but sometimes when i'm not myself
i'm someone else-
she walked over to me
swaying with a smile i've recognized from so many times before
not in her but in an intentional
confusion
she planted her mouth on mine and reached for something more
something i wanted to give back
and we swayed
and played inside that kiss for a minute
then
the embrace was released and
she danced on to the next mouth and soul to taste.
i thought about her for a few days after that
and all the complexities she offered the world
and i thought
better than to dwell on a moment with a lost woman
because after all-
she was the kind that no one could hold on to
but only loosely.
but for a minute i was the star of her show
and a gypsy that made me feel alive.
