Kimberly Vargas Agnese

and now i understand..


turns out

listening to rain tip toe across my open palms,

wondering at the sky

through glistening eyelashes

as it streams around these small stones,

watching breezes move 

through the little hairs of my arms as though I were a wheat field

matters

so much more

than everything

you never…

understood

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.
