* * *

it is time to get out of bed;

mankind has unmade me but century-

old Ostara cradles my frayed self.

gnarled and frost-rotten,

it hurts to go on but on the season goes.


it is time to dig myself free;

on my deathbed, i lack the will to be

humble. i gave 'til i got. every act

of mine will be etched into millennium,

a transcendence of loose tongues. i say:

i was here. i was there. i want to be

EVERYWHERE.
