Me

I have always had this visual

of myself as a wheel
with many spokes
and each one is
a set of needs and
it is okay to
have many of those

for years, I was tired
of being asked to explain

why I need to write,
or listen to music when I cook
or walk in the rain
or hug the kids to bits everytime I see them
or kiss the cat on her soft head

I did not explain it
I just smiled and
connected with my journey
and lived my life

therefore I am the enigma
I do not explain you see

and I do not seek to
solve the questions
that arise in your mind
