4

in the 4th year
of my prime life
with degree of levity
she’s coming forth at me

in straight blue hair

seeking
learning
thinking
creating

are you the 4th?

expressive
standing out
provocative
and bright

or 4…

are the corners
the matress on the floor
the 4 tight limbs
around my heart

brightness
breaking through
the black prism

she’s calm and quiet
not talking of herself
talent and inner strength
are more eloquent
than any 4 words
or 4 hundred words

everything seems really close
for 4 is the future
and 4 is youth
