Who Knew Poetry

I'm Amanda. I'm a "struggling actor" based in New York. I like to pretend I am a secret poet. Maybe I am, maybe not. Either way, it's fun.

The sweat drips from the tips of noses

Sticks to the surface of our surface

Moan and release the creases

In your tee shirts

Please patch the cracks in all the walls

Pull your muscles towards the earth

Fingers, nails, embrace the dirt

Lift wide eyes towards the sunlight

Exhale and recognize your thirst

And in one moment

You are worth what we are worth

Connected at the roots

 Sprouts in our mother’s gardens

Tied to live and die

Tied to breathe as one

Roots
