Twine


He sketches her hair in graphite,

her thoughts on the tip of his ball point pen,

then sets her near the window so she will flutter  in the wind 

and  all the neighbors can see 

how happy 

he makes her

—-

Outside, young ankles twine  free midst  sweet pea vines climbing sun beams

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.
