the trick is to tuck
the new moon in the crook of
a tree, with enough

room to grow and coverage to be
nurtured into a guiding light

the trick is to not

the trick is to not
react any differently,
to try to resist

that lizard brain, no offense
to lizards, try not to jump

the trick to getting

the trick to getting
out of a sticky situation
is to fall apart
completely, deconstruct
so that you are no

onto yourself,
but a grain
of cosmic

shaped and counting
on repeating patterns
to complete the picture

at the end of the

comfort takes small steps

years later, the trick

years later, the trick
is still hidden away in
his sleeves, guarded by

those wish-fulfilling fingers –
in dad’s arms, i feel weightless
