Dorothy Pugin - Bold thoughts

Today I am bold
I could do anything

I could
stand on the tips of my toes
reach into the sky
and dress myself with night diamonds

I could
scoop up the morning birds
and wear them
singing in my hair

Today I have been bold
I have done something

I have
whispered your name
into that space which is fear
and excitement

I have
let myself
think about you
