Someone said I have a sense of mystery Kind of like a secret agent Like I am secretly going to be happy I won’t beg for attention I command it Because I truly wish you well 1/2

And, if I want to sit on the sidewalk Don’t feel sorry for me I chose to sit there You’ll have to ask me why that’s where I want to sit I probably have a history That I am honoring That has nothing to do with you 2/3

I saw the wilted flowers I collected poppy seeds Added dirt Mixed it around Asked for rain When it didn’t rain I emptied the water bottle I found outside into my compost I found a dead bird It needed to be buried My found thing My dead thing Became next seasons poppies 1/2

I walk outside every morning and check on them The ones in my yard always do the best I have to replant and replace the ones on the street frequently I do this naked and pretend I am a farie It annoys the neighbors Who are also annoying Which city do I live in? 2/3

I live on Ohlone land Also known as American land I live in San Francisco In the state of California Also known as the United States I have Italian Scotch Irish Native American Heritage That makes me a mut Not pure bred I compost I garden I work I like animals (Cont.)

My uncle hurt me If you were hurt when you were little You might find it very hard to thrive And regain your balance Be kind to the ones who were hurt They just want to survive They might not know they are hurting you The abused abuse others It’s not pity But grace that’s needed (Cont)

I’m queer I juggle I teach others how to juggle I’ve done things that have hurt people But, I try to be better now and hope people learn to move on and forgive each other I do my best every day I like my space rock It’s a very pretty jail Live and let live Love each other Be kind

I’m on pause, just publishing randomly Have to wait for the sky to return to dark blue What I mean by that is The tide will change When my veins spill blood They bleed purple And dry crusty There’s a lot going on I wish them all peace But, there has to be tension For everything to stay in place
