I have trouble speaking to you
Like the little mermaid I can’t seem to tell you my truth
And you ask me again and again, what is my name
My name is novelty
Like the sparkling crest of a new wave breaking
The silence overwhelms me now
A silence of knowing
What will come next
What seems impossible but yet is the only possibility
I have been searching in deserts and mountains and jungles
Just to find it here in your pocket
You hold me when I try to run
Why does it heal me?
Why do the turtles come back?
Home doesn’t have a mathematical roof and bunk beds
It has arms and a chest and breathes
If no arms, then a chest and breath
If no arms and chest, then a breath
SUBLIME COURAGE
