Self-Doubt

--

I dreamed I was Anubis
With scales in hand,
Blood dripping from —
A beating heart
weighed against –
Not a feather –
Too heavy,
Too big,
Too extravagant.

This heart against
A dandelion seed:
The first of spring,
A tiny lion’s tooth eager
To ride spring’s first wind
To parts unknown
Unforeseen and unforeseeable.
