Immortalize this moment chai latte Pittsburgh is so pretty today Pittsburgh is so grand I respect and admire the bridges of her hands as she holds me like water and pebbles and stone I am woman I am Woman this bus seat; my throne 

The leaves change me and they change you and anyone who denies that is autumns fool.

Partial to rhyme and partial to mood it holds the incorporeal. I’m happy for these words.

These words are happy for me, it’s symbiotic.

The leaves thank the giving trees by crunching underfoot, like a squirrel I’m vigilant 

to the clock or the compass or the elevator in my room and the waves that crash at faraway angles.
I’m an island upon myself,
the responsibility of this clarity an award.

I lap up with all that 

I’m worth

I feel 

enough.
