day fifty-three: weightless.

and with that
i am seemingly
weightless
in this ocean
of hurt
i am floating
free from the terrors
of the deep, dark, sea,
i am floating
silently
just waiting to find a shore
(on which i'll be washed upon)
or an open door
(on which i'll knock and if no one answers
i will knock down, because thats what hips were made for.)
and if the door does not give
and the shore does not show up
then i'll climb a rope ladder
made from my hair
i'll climb up until i can go no further
there i will build a treehouse
out of invisible boards
that will only hold me
and my pet parakeet
(the pet i don't have...)
because i have faith
in things unseen.
and with that
i am seemingly weightless
waiting for a window of
amazingly potent opportunity.
