“Lucky Unlucky
A broken mirror means bad luck and there I was
carrying one around on my back all day like a beast
of burden so that my steps chimed like pocket change
but I was also lucky not to slice the skin of my fingers
each time I reached in to get a pencil or a brush
also lucky enough to move through the world with a name
like Alma which means soul meaning spirit which I have
a lot of or so I am told which I prefer to believe
because it's a free country
I can believe anything I want”

“if we concede to exist
as a sudden broken thing not fearful enemies of love
we grow fierce as yes”

“I guess if I had to choose a go
it would be books
because they tell you everything
you'd ever want or need to know
without any rules about
what you should be doing
who you should like
or how you should think
even though fiction is made up.”
