Preheat


the  pizza in the freezer

knows nothing 

but cold,

knows not 

where it is headed,

nor how hot

the oven 

will be,

or what

 it will feel like

for ice to leave its vest

behind him,

little children read books at school

but philosophy is found 

in an  icebox

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.
