The depths that held me clean and close now suckle at my feet.
The depths that held me clean and close now suckle at my feet.
The cold water slides down my body, chilling me from the outside, teaching me I’m a furnace within.
Rose petals for breakfast, and rain showers, my new beauty regimen.
The symmetry between us— magnetic.
As soon as Your name is on my lips, with every breath I draw nearer to You.
My skin sings alive with the air this twilight.
Heart in my throat— thick as a globe of light rising up to speak
Blood itself is a jewel of garnet wisdom—
The scales fall, flaking from my skin, revealing a pinking softness beneath.
Today I am animal-holy.
