I am full of projects.
\nThe major one, not to die,
\nbecause I have a magic flower
\nblooming in me.
\nAs days shorten
\nI am full of destinies
\nthat must be followed.
\nLives I must fill.
\nI am making flotillas of boats,
\nlittle white ones of paper
\nand floating them
\nin rivers along the curb,
\nin lakes lifted by rain,
\nin the sink of water Michael plays in,
\nin Jackie\u2019s tub,
\nloaded with the cargo
\nof their imaginal world.<\/p>\n
I am lost in time.
\nWhere did you leave your child
\nI ask a shadow
\nplaying chase with me.
\nHow many kites must I fly
\nto get my wings?
\nWhy do poems crawl under fences
\nto touch me?
\nHow many times will I fall in love
\nwith the same people
\nbefore I go,
\nand something laughs in my ear
\nsaying,
\nwhen you catch your tail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
