Notes About The Poem

So Far From Your Perfected Star

Rounded corners and soft edges
Come to us 
Like white geese waddling
Small babies swaddling 
Without knowing
them as gifts

We are
Much deeper 
Than our borders.
Past skin and heart
And long into the soul.

We are all and ever only
Wishes from before

And we are all and ever only 
Dreams of something more.
