these are the tools in your hands

the gifts of your genes

the memory in your cells

the ancient legacies of forming

the pulse under your feet

in the magma under caves

the water under firmament

it is dark already

if there is rage against dying

it is not for light

Sito Potnia

it would be grief

the darkness is alive

all the bright nova minerals conducting water and gas through you

had been buried in there for some time

now here you are

a shapely bubble

for now

and when it’s time

i hope you find what you were hoping for

mine is a vision from a dream when i was seventeen

9/26-27/01

Then, I woke up.

and had to keep on living like that didn’t just happen

over and over                 again                 like everyone

whose lives stretch into being between being eaten

blessed be the hands that have prepared our food

i offer you thanks

blessed be the feet that brought us together

i offer you my thoughts

blessed be the much giving Earth

i offer you my body

in your dream

your last one

when the way opens up

like a maw big enough to swallow

galaxies

birth them

and your body has had enough

what do you want to see?

i hope you are where you wanted to go

that you have been who you wanted to be

i will never be the best version

of who you wish to be

that’s your job

Available in full in Roar.

those feet

on that one piece

of soft tectonic glacier

the tools they have

in their hands
