What Do I Want?
A new poem
Acrylic on canvas. 30 × 48 inches. 2021.
I want less sleek and
More naturally,
More however you happen to be.
I want less clean and
More freedom to happen into
whatever mess ignites the curiosity of my soul,
The life force of this human being.
More dancing
And less monitoring,
More traveling
And less tracking,
More holding onto what feels right and true
And more letting go of the rest.
