splayed across a disparate world
of satin and quilts
I eschew the billowed tent
heaven and stars adhered to a ceiling
life within performance is my discipline
its patchwork brings a show
of pride
I travel wide
dig my toes deep into distant sands
grow taller, wiser, hopeful
while child-self hugs books and blankets
the stuffed and raggedy, well-loved rabbit
