THIS IS NOT YOUR ORDINARY TEXT

today i read of a –
death: someone’s sister (this heart hammers),
felled by a clot in the brain. so young and
oh! a pity. (the limbs ache)
i’m alive! i’m well! i’m awake and i can jump can scream can shout!
(she left her entire life –
like that.)

i’m! startling! aware! of the differences and i
marvel! at your sovereignty. (you know i don’t understand
you, your ways and – i don’t think i ever will – but
right now i’m alive and that! alone! sets me
spinning.)

quietly, at a standstill.
dear father: past present future –
its all in your hands.
head on! i’ve nothing to lose.

I know you’d meet my halfway (grace begins) when this strength fades.
