Giraffe # 1

Its weird
to find
that I
have lost
so much
that was
myself
its strange
but I
have set
out to
discover
who
I am
so here’s
to me
the way
I am
I revel
in
the sum
who am

seeking the safe place

the joy is fragile
it trembles tenderly

no matter how many
mingle and mill where i am

i tremble
tremble
tremble…

“I take it you are there?”
I was mildly annoyed. She knew that I worried. Every morning when she left to take kids to school or to go anywhere for that matter, I said a ritual, yet heartfelt prayer. “The Lord protect you on the road!”. This [...]
