she stepped outside into the morning air to watch the 
cars go by and let the sun dry her hair i wanted to tell her how beautiful she 
was but i just stared i sat behind the wheel and watched the raindrops as they 
gathered on the windshield and raced down into the humming motor and she 
folded up her fears like paper airplanes and lost them in the trees and i know 
i don't deserve this: the capacity to feel (to laugh and to cry and to praise) 
for that i live and breathe and wake each day clean is nothing less than your 
grace (in awkward and glorious movement).
