Advice from an Old Turtle

Stick your neck out.
Even if you think that
what you have to show
ain’t pretty, climb out
of the dark of the swamp.
Bask in the warmth,
in the light, in the sun.
Breathe the fresh air
through your nose.
Let it dance through
your toes. It’s sun time,
fellah. Let it all hang out.
