A Selcouth Kristin

06/20/2024

Seldom is selcouth a way

or word to write a storied life.

But living in peculiar does adventure sway.

We spin our plates so carefully,

And try to breathe comfortable order.

Seldom is selcouth a way.

Unknown strikes discordant phrase

that calls us back to narrow lines. 

Tread boldly across to a different maze.

Why dwell in things so firmly set,

When tireless dreams refrain:

“Seldom is selcouth a way.”

Bring your appetite a prismatic play

Colors beaming outward to horizons

Unknown, untouched, unlaid.

Within you lies a half-drawn map.

Inspect the spots unfettered by ink.

Seldom is seclouth a way,

Unless you seek a bold new day.
