burning the nature of myself into this wall.;
Odes (to those small, private victories).;
I see the gentle shadow of who I used to be,;
And receive a kiss (from her) as I go.; The buttery gratitude of my heart is messy and touching everything all the time.;
I whisper into the knotted branches of my past selves;
(All turns and bends (thankyouthankyou));
As ephemeralities;
 stretch;
outward into the sunlight.;
“You’re in the prime of your life.”;
Ever, ever.
