Flex


this morning i gather 

yellow moments which grow green
as 2 lb weights 

cuz they remind me 

of how some 

of the small stuff in

life 

still fits in the palms of

my hands,

flexes and

curls

to some plans

while sun beams lap 

around 

my work out mat and welcome me

to sit up

and enjoy 

what i can do,

my breath comes 

in silky sets

and in my own way

i too

run with sunbeams

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.
