poem | counting blessings

I’m lucky

one of my soul mates

was born

18 months after me

and made it convenient

by choosing the same

womb to grow in

as I

my life is amplified

in goodness

and interesting-ness

and funny-ness

because

you

exist

thucheche for always being real with me

ngala tingla tokol anga
