SHIMMER-HUNGRY
Photograph, Olivia Bossert
I am
defective.
Speed-disrupted,
uneasy, inadequate.
Self-convicted of
never-enough,
whiplashed by the whirling energy,
of everything-right-this-minute.
I know
My power crouches,
mobilizing,
reorganizing.
I wait,
convalescing,
shimmer-hungry.
When my shimmer rises,
I shall be unstoppable.
