my wife; 29

she dreams, sometimes
of fixing the middle east
over coffee
in her christian louboutins

and sometimes

she lives a simple dream
of fixing peace between siblings
over coffee
in her love worn slippers

wild words

"words ought to be a little wild, for they are the assaults of thoughts on the unthinking" -- keynes

there are moments and events in lives
where all that has gone before
serves to mark
the highwater of our being
and we are left to wonder at where we are.
