A ball of hope
wound around
what dreams
A ball of hope
wound around
what dreams
in your own way.
My tongue trips
my pen slips
words swim away
in your own way.
My tongue trips
my pen slips
words swim away

There's something wrong with the world.
Keep being weird.
Keep howling against the storm.
Keep writing erotic stories about moon ghosts.
Keep being a spark in the darkness, and hope for a better tomorrow.

they named me
so many things I am not
and I carried their namings
shoulders besieged by the weight
footsteps heavy enough to crack concrete
till you plucked the words like harp strings
and made me light and music
you asked me which names
I actually belong to
and let me
rest there

the past a riddle and a struggle to remember
there were too many sides to the story
too many patterns that overlapped
far exceeding my ability to grasp
too many threads to untangle
an unreliable narrator, i

Remain curious,
Amidst resentment
breathe creatively
like drowning teaches lungs
existence resists
resistance exists
balance is a luring trap
dangerous
yet no less real than dreams
water appreciates us
even when we forget
For:
@yeehawpoems.bsky.social
Precepts
Remain curious
Be kind, not nice
Breathe creativity
Consume metaphors
Existence is resistance
Encode everything clearly
Balance upon paradox
Be seriously ironic
Appreciate water
Consent is key

when I was young
from head to toe.
it wasn’t a choice
one day i realized
my clothes were grey
colors were not me
black was too cool
grey was a color for fading
last year i realized again
that i was dressed in grey
from head to toe
without thinking
I felt grey
i was grey
when I was young
from head to toe.
