Making Care

on making…

I woke up this morning and made a world

navigating space

accumulating chunks of mirrored recognition

into a personal anthology on becoming

jumbled, uneven, and dripping with a fragility

as bare-hearted and audacious as

a bee in pursuit of nectar

on care…

to become is to become with

there is nothing more alluring than a shared lived experience

pillars of hexagon-shaped certainty

malleable at the slightest caress of a wing

awakening to a capacity to cross-pollinate

practices of becoming

patchy, precarious care emerges in unlikely spores

this worldliness ebbs and flows with dizzying potential

and strikes exposed bodies sense-full

by how universal it is to make

honey amidst dust
