God


cracked stars.
gorgeous girl.
in all my glory
and with no accountability
i fashion myself
and my blade
with things i cannot say.
i see the colors
and the curves
that make me lose my mind.
in bouts of love,
and silence,
i become what i need,
and what is owed to the world,
all the same.
i’m too outrageous
for my own good.
sinking my teeth into
whatever divinations steal
me from the party.
because life is the party.
and when i’m convinced
i’ve been blessed by the grace of a God,
it may just be your hand on my arm
or the warmth of the fire
