You: wake up in the dark,
tattered into breath.
You: capture the tide,
ride the typhoon, soak
in the monsoon rains of
disaster.
And you: cast your desperation
into the mouth
of a volcano
as it roars at your feet,
euphoric as you
sing yourself
into death.
You: a wolf snarling in the dark.
And you: revive
as [best as] you can;
sprouting wings + screaming
harpy heritage; blooming feathers
on flesh.
You: a snake, shedding selves, unravelling
+ swallowing yourself whole;
as you: re-wild from storm
into calm / into seething
