APRIL 1:
Spiral upwards,
it’s easy. Wind, carry
things like that.
Feathers, Sky, Yes.
Things like that.
Like the new-new,
and here I’m supposed to be.
APRIL 2: “To the Orbs”
Why is it
when I open doors
you act surprised
that doors do open
and my eyes do see
you scatter.
“I see you”,

And once they do, they will cast robes of purple on my and say, “If you were really who you say you are, then how come we call you this?” And I run for fear they will pin me where I do not want to be and call me what I do not want to be called. And yet, here I stand, surprised the cup has already been emptied.
