Forgive me too


To forgive you your anger

i guess

i must forget 

my own,

bless meadow spaces

which keep us

safe 

to grow together in this world

without tearing 

one another

apart

like unwanted weeds in pastures

of forget me  nots…

i stand way over here

and 

you 

stand way 

over 

there…

we look at each other 

from time to time

from  the corners where we hid

how we should have loved each other

from each other,

 and i wish to pick flowers

 of forgiveness 

for you

and hope

you will find it in your heart

to pick some 

for me

too

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.
