How to feel found while being lost
*
Think about doing
everything
you want to do.
Think of how to
make mere ideas
exist.
**
Catch wishes
with gold sifters.
Sort out
stinging salt
from riverbeds.
Sometimes
we dream on crummy
mattresses.
Your bed sheets are
filled with crumbs
from eating away your
nightmares.
***
Don't drive on an
empty tank of gas.
There are too many
reminders of
how whole you
wish
to be.
Stop in an unknown
town. Realize:
There are other
lost souls,
too.
****
Accept the fact
that you are indeed lovable
We all speak words
we wish we
framed with gold.
Catch bad omens
with a flick of a tongue.
Sometimes
what you want to say
isn't what you need.
Swallow syllables
that get caught in your
gut.
Have the courage
to speak with a
lost translator.
*****
You don't always
need to explain
yourself.
