John Siddique – Making It Up

Making It Up

Fold yourself the mind you want.
Make a paper hat
and wear it on your head. Hold it tight
when the wind blows.

Paint yourself the heart you desire. Pin it
on your jumper, be proud of your colours.
Pin it fast and don’t mind the rain.

Write yourself the love you love. Hold that
paper tight in your hand. Unfold it often,
read your plan aloud in sun and in snow.

Walk yourself the world you want. Each step
is breath. It’s your life. Stamp big-footed.
Walk soft. Dance your way in all the weathers.
