VULNERABLE STEPS
Snow and rain
drench the concrete
in musical stillness.
I take vulnerable steps
to a destination
resembling a child's sketch
of a circle
as my love
ropes through my arms.
I've been searching
for the absurd
beneath these sidewalks
and in the basements
of people I'll never meet
when I should be
finding my own fingerprints
mixed into the funeral urn
that I keep next to my heart.
Today, I choose to be
naked
despite the bundles
over my flesh;
I am stellar
and a rebel
against the drying
of the stars.
A somewhat philosophical and uplifting piece for this snowy\rainy morning!
