Kindness

Kindness delivered
is like
postage placed
on envelopes
without a
return address
once sent
rebound is
never expected
or desired

Open

Most people 
want windows
so that
they can
see outside
what most
don’t understand
is that
the best
view is
from inside
open the
doors of
your soul
and the
windows of
your heart

Dunk

There’s comfort 
in knowing
that I
know nothing
except myself
an immersive
steeping but
not stewing
a drawing
out not
breaking down
a dunk
dunk dunk
kinda thing

Boundaries

The true strength 
of ones boundaries
is not that
they are built
for most can’t
see them but
in your conviction
that they are
and when tested
do stand up

Shake

It’s just 
the what
might’ve beens
that I
can’t shake
like gum
or toilet
paper stuck
to the
bottom of
my shoe
I just
didn’t see
and now
can’t reach
