My watch is squeezing my wrist

Leaving a ribbon of red

Indentations of time we shared

Constricting and expanding

Moments I float around

Amorphous until my eyes

Find yours

Cool glacier expanses

In this savannah of time

I see you Fiona

As a cheetah sister high up in the trees

Scanning the horizon for predators

As I slink and get ready

To catch this life

My life visceral and real

Searching for clues that have been

In my hands, my eyes

All this time

This conversation of sorts

Straight-lined curvatures

A mecca of wind and air

You are my person for a moment

A friend

A memory

My intuition creaks with age and I remember

My own boldness of conviction

My heart turning upward

And beyond–

And with gratitude, I glance back

Catching a slight smile–

A wink and a prayer and off I go

Into my own wild life

In

Strength
