Kimberly Vargas Agnese

Almost New Year Girl


On the fifth day of Christmas 

My true Love gave to me 

5 fingers wriggling

4 limbs a flailing 

3 names a knowing

2 eyes a seeing

and a mouth breathing pink 

bubbles fluttering 

around a Christmas tree

I was born 

to be 

a candy coated pinwheel twirling  

milky cloudy hope filled baby

flowing into an almost New Year 

Lady 

wishing you all 

the best of breaths in all your days to come


With love and appreciation for those who have paused to sip the sea with me,

Kae

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.
