We Hold These Truths


..
Dawn’s a grinning ghost,
a whispercurl scar of shadowdance
moon and bubble-breath breeze.

Open a giggle jar. Spill your stars.
Rise, twist clouds to dance. Spark
(one) chance. Green our skin with lull
of leaves.

Cue the journey. Melt.
Shimmer-twist, skip.

Embrace the sun.
