boldness in the hereafter


 
i.
the weight
left behind
was dense
almost sticky
as it hung in air  
 
adhering him
 
everywhere
 
 
ii.
Freedom
is kaleidoscopic
 
i grow my power  
stronger  
bit by bit  
 
reinforcing  
consequences  
of new choices  
 
anytime  
anyplace  
with anyone  
anywhere

 
reborn,  
with that unrepentant
nature  
 
i thought died  
when he did.  
 
 
iii.
Reaching out,  
grasping
tightly  
with both hands  
 
exuberance  
is birdsong
 
stark clarity
cleanses a palate  
{coffee never tasted better}  
 
my smile—
greedy  
barely containable
 
beams  
self made  
promise
 
where  
happiness,  
once hidden  
away  
 
shines  
crystal clear  
 
with  
every
single  
sovereign
day
