Impetuous

(adj.) acting or done quickly and without thought or care; moving forcefully or rapidly.

Nan’s impetuous decision to quit her job and move abroad surprised everyone who knew her cautious nature.

It comes from the Latin impetuosus, derived from impetus, meaning “attack” or “assault.” The word entered English in the late 14th century, initially describing physical force or violent motion before broadening to describe rash, hasty behavior in people.

🧠 Think of impetuous as sharing its root with impetus. Both carry that sense of a rushing, unstoppable force. When someone is impetuous, they act like a force of nature: fast, powerful, and not easily redirected.

I want to happen upon advice,

like a discovered

strawberry patch,

like an encounter with revelation.

Don’t fix my problems.

Wait until I am weeping

to hold me,

Release

is its own agony,

a deep sea fish

thrust to the surface

to unravel flesh in too thin waters.

Abide.

My heart is a loaf of bread.

Commit.

Bear witness

to every crack on my surface as

I rise in the heat.

Beak me open

any time you like but

know my crannies first.

I am the horizon itself,

the border and the infinite,

prelude to the cosmos and

coda to the earth.

Do not capture but
