Grumpy birthday. Photo by Patrick Kehoe/Seattle
I made myself another self today.
The pale peach sky gazed down on my aching pores
Opening and closing, I breathe
panting along the shore I know
I am bigger than this body
I am a soul with the heart of a thousand mermaids
swimming across the vast red sea
carrying hopes,dreams, the future and bells
of clarity ringing like a magestic kite
The bird was flying beneath my bed
Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl.
