this is an invitation to a peace
of mind. i mean a peace of my
merciful mind.

watch me become undone as I
pray under the the lights of
sleeping moons.

this is an invation to explore the
sounds of me.
to the soft unraveling of denied
pain. trapped in memories
of justified
love.

listen to the rain of my freed mind
when he touched
my mouth with his heavy
hands. and made all my
fantasies impossible.

this is an invitation to see my shamed stars
fade in the night
of skies.
how I wish I
would’ve burned
them well.

this is an invitation for the voice in
your head to rebel against
satisfied regrets.
an urging to choose
burning stars well.
