‘glass slippers’
/
i open
/
these eyes
to silvery ribbons
dancing across
/
surface of river
/
spirits of glass
essence of water
[ephemeral movement]
/
tension
at the surface
or is it flow?
/
we sleep intertwined
with the windows open
and the coyotes sing
/
i smell fire
“touch me
like the wind”
/
i command
/
in deep rest
i dream
of glass slippers
/
which are square
/
these ideals
these fantasies
are flawed!
/
you tell me
/
my heart
keeps fluttering
like this
/
we are
/
fragile
transient,
and do not
/
always fit
/
still
we do
perfectly
/
yet perhaps not
/
in the ways
we would think —
stop it
/
for once
/
lose your mind!
disappear
into thousands
/
of disguises
/
what is originality?
vulnerability or restriction?
expand [from square to circle]
/
i kiss every part
of You
like it is the last
/
Time
/
the shaman tells me
you can have it all
do not run away again
/
stay right here
/
do not move.
watch the play!
keep watching—
/
see
/
this miracle
which unfolds
gracefully
/
when you love
completely
what is
/
here
/
i dare you
to try
surrender
/
without
push or pull
whatever
/
it’s useless
to try
lord,
/
whatever
You are
i am
/
That —
