The Pen
Take the pen in your uncertain fingers.
Trust, and be assured
That the whole world is a sky-blue butterfly
And words are the nets to capture it.
–Muhammad al-Ghuzzi, Tunisia
Take the pen in your uncertain fingers.
Trust, and be assured
That the whole world is a sky-blue butterfly
And words are the nets to capture it.
–Muhammad al-Ghuzzi, Tunisia
we’re flying high
drunk off clouds
spiraling through
turbulence
i know you, stranger
familiar prick
don’t stain the sky red
before the sunset
let’s just cruise at this altitude
close eyes
free hair
wind whip through outstretched fingertips
sip serenity together
flocking with feathers
and all that jazz
