What do I know about open spaces?
Freedom
and courtyards
lemon trees
bay leaves
dust
water

Water splashes from the fountain to my feet
a small dark
cool
circle of clarity

Lemon organizes my tea

There are some things that only
carefully distilled
perfumes
will be able to heal

It was in the tealeaves all along
I will set you free
You will hold me

The courtyard embraces in ways the field cannot understand
The field wonders aloud
How would I fit my many selves in such small corners?

The candles are grateful for
corners to dance with and
lovers to illuminate
Bay leaves
Dust
Water
