The view from a balcony
is beautiful no matter the
size of the body doing the gazing.

The heart that beats
is full of love no matter the
circumference of the hips.

The mind with ambitions
is powerful no matter the
mass of the dreamer.

The soul of the saint
is expansive no matter the
confines of human form.

It makes me sad

It makes me so sad
that people hurt
others and break
their own hearts,
that alleviating pain
destroys so many
from the inside out,
and we must endure
misfortune and loss,
especially if we allow
ourselves to love
with the full volume
of our souls.

Turtle in a Turtle Shell

Maybe a turtle is in a turtle shell
much the way mice are in fur coats,
eels wear slick high-sheen leather,
and monsters live in skins of goats.

Stubborn dinosaurs wear emu feathers,
and goddess cats are draped in fluff.
Humans must don these hot meat suits,
while armadillos carry armor that’s rough.

Porcupines live inside costumes with spears
to protect like whales with the thickest skin.
It makes me wonder if the being we see
could be different from the soul within.
