    Ding!

    inspired by co—star’s message to me yesterday
    the distance between a text message and a poem is a matter of attitude

    every message is sacred,
    an incantation of protection,
    whether read or unread

    magic doesn’t care nor
    does my belief require proof,,,,
    when i tell you goodnight

    a star is born in a cloud of gas
    and space dust —
    these electronic missives

    from my heart
    to your phone

    like the wind

    bend me i’m a sapling hard and soft tender shoots i’m trying to grow the sun is sparse and silent sometimes a breeze tickles my elbow and i extend my roots away
    bend                me
    i’m a sapling 

     hard and soft 
              tender shoots

    i’m trying to grow

    the sun is sparse and
                          silent

    sometimes a breeze tickles my elbow

    and i extend my roots          away
