ovenbird When it’s late enough
to say it’s evening,
and dinner has been made
and eaten,
and the kitchen
is cleared of dishes
and dissent,
I pull on pyjamas
and climb into bed
with my books
and my blankets
and dreams.

Surrounded by stories and
fur and confessions
I send my voice across
great distances.

I want to write a poem that has never
been written,
but the past is there
for me to read
and every word
I think is new
is only new to me.

I would give back my name
to the star that birthed me
for the chance to make myself
something you’ve never seen.

Something unafraid.
Something that stays.
