Buttercup Thursday 

As this rumpled bit of Thursday

pulls its’ pocket inside out,

tidbits of this week’s

foot prints 

tumble

like buttercups

fluttering

in an hourglass 

and so,

we venture forwards towards 

the fragrance of cake

wafting around kitchen chairs 

soaking up rest

through Thursday’s  window 

 above the buttercups

For Bill

My name is Kimberly Vargas Agnese, though I've previously written as Kae Bucher. I was born in the Florida Keys, but grew up in the Bay Area before migrating south to the San Joaquin Valley. As I ride barefoot around Fresno, I consider the paths I've chosen and the crossroads where our country seems to have perched itself. Thanks to my Romani ancestry, many people groups reside within me and my poetry tends to reflect this. I love welcoming the sunrise with my Native American flute. I've been rumored to juggle while teaching students how to write. And if you can't find me, I'm probably hanging out with Jesus listening to parables.
