Knowing

Poet Kiana DavisJanuary 20, 2014poetryIntuition, Poetry, tongues

I don’t stay in the same place

longer than I need to

but there are times

I get stuck

in the loop of comfort

and words have to be spoken

out loud to me in another tongue

to release me from the fear

of knowing what Is to come.
