Regarding the dress which was purchased yesterday


To whom it may concern,

On Sunday ,

I woke up to the fact

that 

I was actually just 

a straight laced

poet,

so purchased a dress from your company

accordingly 

until 

a mockingbird flew by

with a mist on the tips of her glorious wings

inviting me to breakfast 

well,

as I was climbing out the window,

the buttons of my heart

popped

completely off

and so I must return this dress

because I suppose it never really fit to begin with

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.
