biˈlēv

. . . . i want to write about us
not the old us, not the now us 
. . . . but the future us: problem 
is - i don’t know them yet . . . .

stronger,gooder, more pleasing 
to the touch perhaps - perhaps 
more independent not so closed 
off:  more empowered to sit and 
not fear: don’t know that us yet 
don’t know the how or the what 
or the why or even the when still 
i know i‘m excited more excited 
...than i have been in a long time
