What My Blanket Has Witnessed

I take courage from how the cloud pulls
herself together after hours of tears.
with strokes and spins. Dj Spinall.
I’ve soaked the emotions of a lover
gathered the courage to respond to
what are we with “nothing.. turn.” Femi.
my nose doesn’t increase after a lie
it sniffs. a shepherd from Germany!
I’ve enrolled my fingers to learn hello.
I’ve asked for a sign. genesis. 1. 28.
