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

those feet
on that one piece
of soft tectonic glacier
the tools they have
in their hands
