there was something important i wanted to tell you but in the heat of the moment i have forgotten what it was.
Changed
By Naomi Shihab Nye
They said something mean about me
and didn’t notice it was mean.
So my heart wandered
into the rainy night without them
and found a canopy
to hind under.
My eyes started
seeing through things.
Like gauze.
Old self through new self.
My flexible body
went backwards
and forwards
in time.
It’s hard to describe but true:
I grew another head
with better ideas
inside my old head.
This was good too ! ;)
Beautiful Blue Girl...
Happy New Year, beautiful Kelly !
