and who are we to be so blessed to have pie
to have clothing in a closet : shoes under the bed
a bed with flannel sheets : heat and hot water at the ready
who are we not to know how blessed we are 
to remember how it is we came in 
wrapped and delivered
wanted

the mural found me
 
it was pressed against 
a cement wall
 
I'd walked through that alley
many many times
always going someplace
a bit too fast
 
thinking I'd like to create
something I could hold in my hands
offer to you
maybe fall in love, 
all over again
 
the red eye of the sea star 
called me to a halt
I touched it then placed my finger
to my wrist
then forehead
 
the wall was wet
not paint but morning air
thick enough to chew on
when I spit out blood 
I knew what I had to do
