ABOVE YOU

                   
Please Stop!

looking 

down 

the tip of your nose

and loving

me 

like toes! 

 Stop!

packaging 

me 

into secondary sandals 

Stop !

fashioning me into someone 

whose sole existence..

is to get

YOU

where YOU want to go

…because when you look

down 

at

me

you may

miss…….

the fluttering of my wings 

 above you

My name is Kimberly Vargas Agnese, though I've previously written as Kae Bucher. I was born in the Florida Keys, but grew up in the Bay Area before migrating south to the San Joaquin Valley. As I ride barefoot around Fresno, I consider the paths I've chosen and the crossroads where our country seems to have perched itself. Thanks to my Romani ancestry, many people groups reside within me and my poetry tends to reflect this. I love welcoming the sunrise with my Native American flute. I've been rumored to juggle while teaching students how to write. And if you can't find me, I'm probably hanging out with Jesus listening to parables.
