Something is going to happen today.
Someone's going to love me
or I'm going to have to move on without an apology.
Something is going to break my heart a little
and something else is going to salve my wounds.
This life will have it's way with me
and I will live or die in a single breath.
My skin will feel like a stranger's overcoat
or my body will fall smoothly into the familiar dip in the mattress.
Life is going to sing me to sleep
in some new place.
Something is going to surprise me a little.
and something else will fall away.
This life is going to crack me wide open
and beauty will surprise me
and sorrow will wreck me
and love will move me
because something is going to happen.
It always does.
