See us as we see ourselves
Beautiful
Crippled
Brilliant
Feral
Courageous
Unloved
How many versions of ourselves walk the earth
Seeking authentication
The garden anticipating the vine
The footsteps
The many splendored possibility
What will stay
What will go
Our pockets filled with blossoms
Each lighting a branch
We choosing, not choosing,
considering, discarding
Shaving, grafting,
Shaping by marking
a space we do not know
