My optical drive is misbehaving
Like everything in my life
Except for my son and my cat
So I fix it
Because a giantess doesn’t only break things
She builds and she grows and she goes on
She moves on and leaves the past behind
Burning bridges with a smile
Like the one I formed that morning
When this body was born
But I was already here, in this world
Looking at the map of my life
Moving the pieces on a board that runs amok
Because that’s what they do
Life changes the rules and pulls the rug
And the rug under me was huge
It had to be
I can sit here and sink
Or I can grow taller and laugh
And think of how I see the world
Everyone in it a small toy
Everything in it a small toy
Because that’s how my brain works
And I love it
Sometimes I think of medication
Because sometimes it hurts
Would I change seeing it all from up here?
No
This is how I am
And when this body drops and rots
I’ll go on
Growing
And I’ll hold the tiniest thing
And I’ll love the biggest thing
And they won’t be any different to me
Because everything is small to me
Infinitesimal
So when you feel the air move and touch your face
That’s my breath against your flesh
When you plant your feet against the Earth
That’s my will spinning it
Look up and see the stars rushing by
That’s my game of lights
Lift your hand and say hello
And when you hear a distant rumble
When the sun winks from behind a cloud
When there’s a halo around the moon
When the Earth trips and dusts itself off
That’s me, saying hello back
I don’t question a line of it. My operational premise is that Undersquid is up there and all around, watching, working.

Ring around the moon mean rain or snow soon. I prefer the winking sun. Thanks for this. :)
