tx tumble weed

in twelve     days my     sabbatical     will be 
over:     a self imposed     year of     celibacy. a 
 yr of     looking down,     dismissively smiling
chuckling     not laughing     cuz a touch     or a stare
a sideways     glance may lead    to other     things
& i'm not     ready for other things,     or other ones
not yet    how odd     to think     me a nun     when we 
met. how odd     to decide such a year.     how daft? 
how prodigious?     how fast     how a spin of 
self 
reflection
becomes     a twist
how a God     
may     play     with 
me,    w/ thoughts,     w/us
w/our 
self will
