Cutting Teeth
Thumbs in my belt loops and I’m cutting my teeth
Do my arms signal like the flashing lights of plane wings as I cascade through decisions?
I’m one plum bite away from finding a strong northern wind to sail away on.
A violet cascade in the hallway
Paprika stained vignettes soaking up stories with sea salt and cursive lined notebooks
I had once asked in conference with witching hour companions of stride-breaking dreams.
Trouble is a town without exit signs.
