fuck gray clouds, we got daggers
we got butterflies, we got pollen
we got bloody fucking thorns
we got halos
we got horns
we got fairy wings and fangs
we got love
got scorn
got hopes and fears and dreams
we're torn
we're tattered fragments of divinity
we're scattered memories of eden wandering lost and tryna get back to the garden, tryna find ourselves in this hazy sharp maze of mirrors
tryna care, tryna share
tryna get somewhere just a little bit closer to who we are in our most hopeful dreams
blind and groping for something solid that isn't a cage
we've got rage
we've got bloody beating hearts broken and joining together
wandering found with like one fucking toe holding us to the ground buried in mounds of bullshit and frayed feathers
cut the tether to build a wall?
fuck y'all
i love y'all
and your burning bridges and leaning towers and stick figure perceptions of other

we got heart
we got soul
we got memories that overwhelm
we got emotions that challenge our control
we whisper and choke and then write in bold screaming silently that we exist that we're real, multidimensional with color and depth
we got tears
we got breath cycling in and out between every one of us
connecting each and every one of us

fuck gray clouds
we've got the sun in our eyes and deep seas
we've got wounds still bleeding
we've got disease
we've got kisses
we got missing the point and severing connections
we've got misdirection
we've got discovery
we've got drudgery
we got muddy lessons
and i'm gritty but it feels shitty to hurt someone i love
but i ain't got pity and i ain't got hate
i got extra plates and a place set at the table
and i'll wait
but i ain't gettin on my knees
i demand divine deliverance from the goddess in me
i demand all eyes open and willing to see
i demand fear float on by and leave me free
i demand that we all be who we really fucking are
shining stars
burning with yearning to light up the world's turning
learning to love ourselves
and others
well
we've got deep wells and deserts
parched lips and floods
we've got mad love and terrific tears
bone blood and spirit are you feeling this????
my soul floats on the brink of joy and despair
on the border of birth and death
in the shoreless sea of endless possibility that we all bring into being together called life
and i'm alive
and i strive
and i hide behind my shadows
and the moon rises reflections of my soul growing towards full
