IndieWeb Carnival: Impact
The November edition of the IndieWeb Carnival is about impact. Host Xandra invites us to reflect on, among other things, “what has made the biggest impact on your personality?"
A golden retriever-like,
glitter-in-your-face
enthusiasm for life
is one way
I sometimes use
to describe myself.
I see it appear in the
Get Well Soon card
my coworkers put together.
“I miss your smile!”
“I miss my compliments!”
I am but
one day out of my cast.
I cringe whenever I say
anything about
darkness.
but, it’s true and I feel it.
Sometimes, the best thing to
do to darkness is
throw glitter in its face.
Glitter, I’ve found,
can ask myriad questions.
“Is it okay that I’m here?”
“Do you like me?”
“Can I rest here?”
“Am I safe?”
“How are you feeling?”
“Do you need a cheerleader?”
“At last, I love life. You?”
“Treat each other well,
the rest is commentary,
do you feel the same?”
