I’m kind of flat now
I am pressed
I noticed it in the mirror the other day
Like a paper doll
sort of flimsy or just
just flat

The juniper oil in the air here
It’s like a light
It is a light
my papery dust wings
searching for it

I remember things
No one knows
So those memories
are my own nothing
Silk
Swan
Howl
I suppose those are good

Occasionally the leaves let it be so
The pine needles
stick to my skin…
My kid ate one

I want to be three dimensional
I like the idea of things poking out of me
And into me
I like the jutting out
The obvious curve

When I feel flat
I wait.
I slumber
I remember
any hand that touched
this sculpture
and made it sing

I sometimes make soup
or puddings….
or crawl straight into the lions
roar
