You Are Enough
There’s a box of questions sealed that I can’t open
Underneath this armour like a bruise
Cruel and curled and folded like an insect
In smoke and sleep and scars and these tattoos
And a muddy puddle rising in a rowboat
Swelling, seeping in between my feet
I’d throw a line if not already tethered
In my head and with every heart beat
You are enough
I had a dream that I was under water
Then it turned and I was in the sky
Rising falling kicking at this vessel
Day and night exceeded my supply
​
I wrote a melody today
I know you’d like it not the same cliché
It isn’t finished far from a ballet
I wrote a melody today
I thought I saw a sparrow in the garden
I followed it until it flew too high
But the daffodils are pushing through the soil
And maple keys spinning in the sky
