Poems

I Shine (2019)

I shine like an old flashlight

A flickering deep orange of warmth

A fuzzy glow emits from my stomach

There even though exhausted

I shine like an old flashlight

When I stand with others,

Urging colors to bloom on loved surfaces

And glimmer around the corners

I shine like an old flashlight

When I watch the people I've helped

Glisten and twinkle before me,

Knowing I was just one part
