thirty-nine


I think I'll embrace
turning thirty-nine
in equine fashion
and proclaim that
I am now

"in my fortieth year"


instead of waiting
a whole year to
feel
and allow
the  
excitement and
anticipation
of this
milestone
to come
alive
in my being,
embodying
more fully
who I am.

today.

mindful that


not a road
leading somewhere.
somewhere is now.
