Tuesday Mornings

Oh little one, you are not small and mighty. 

You are the cosmos folded neatly in on itself, 
a magic built on history, your present
a gift to the future. 

It takes courage to be strong, and strength to be vulnerable. 

Your eyes may track others... 
trailers of inspiration inspired by 
inspiration inspired by 
big eyes and ever expanding hearts. 

Your magic is, too, magnetic. 
It's the moon and 
a blue-black blanket and an exploding star. 

Our eyes track you for inspiration. 

Everyday Villains

When snow falls we say, 

"look how special, how unique."
We don't ask questions.

When branches step and 
lives become encased in ice, 
we simply move on. 

We tell ourselves that 
white hides are invisible
cloaks for terrorists.
