Release

if I were to
summarize
my life in a
haiku

it would go
something
like this:

             born in dixieland
             i learned to be verbose &
             eat sleep write love etc.

i would take
all my verbs
string them to
a kite's tail

release them
on a cloudless
windy day in
mid-March:

watch, now
watch as my love
drags the ground
