The Open-Heart Rebellion

“Fool, light attributes:
Fearlessly revealing emotion.
Helping people laugh
at absurdity and hypocrisy.”
-Archetype Cards,
by Caroline Myss

A dancing
wild bear
bearing love
a glad-seeking gladiator
a meditating mediator
a cave dwelling condor
am I

the burnt-out lightbulb
disconnected from the grid
now recycled artwork
a shimmering blue globe
reflecting the sunlight

Am I the Fool
fearlessly revealing emotion
helping people laugh
at absurdity and hypocrisy
it’s gotta be
a Divine comedy play
from Broadway to back streets
grief-stricken acts
amidst acts of joy
all the lovelorn losers
rising unapologetic
un-apathetic
raging with love
drumming out the beat
of a beneficent world
