#YesYouCan #BeTheChange
Why
did she take
the paper flowers
and the huge golden butterfly
inhabiting her head
(along with the stuffed
bird
in her ribcage)
and without saying a word
lay them out
on the wooden
floor?
~Nikos Engonopoulas, from Aubade.

I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I give myself to it.
