Shall we run?


Well,

dip me in henna 

and call me a poodle

if you must

as i sniff around 

dewy leaves

this fall…

where tall trees

tipple 

ocean breezes…

but i am not 

the only one 

who has hands to

reach

 for 

the hem of the sun 

before 

she 

turns 

the corner

come on …Let’s run

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.
