I wonder, do you wonder?
about monsters mystery mayhem
magic and real life

Go on wondering searching
Adventure!
and opening with the fear

Then I’m shaking stumbling
completely lost and
moving maybe? ahead

Foggy, feeling, thinking, and
then not thinking
just testing it out

We play around with guessing
messing up and goose
bumps in the night

Now I’m really trying falling failing flailing
angrily, then more humbly,
trying again

Just jumped back freaking out
and found some laughter
within

Sneaky

When did I accept open eyes
hands that tremble
a heart alive in my throat
and all that comes with them,
including misery, at times?

May have been
when I learned that “I wonder”
calling card
of trickster Curiosity
holds within her
untold endings

of

surprise

and

delight

and that she
in fact, and in fiction,
is me

curiosity
