i seek a chain made of silver with three black orbs and a bird facing the sky to wrap around my chest fall between my ******* clasp around my waist and the back of my neck to remind me of my shape
all day as i move i am conscious of a bead here a tug there and i am reminded that i am a woman and i feel power*
i stand tall i feel sure i use my grace and i wield my weapons
have you not seen the plumage of the birds of the sky? colors textures and sounds m e s m e r i z e
attract or distract hide or reveal
have you not seen the cuttlefish? the intelligent mollusk and master of disguise hiding in the sea? beauty and mystery abound oh that i knew the ways of the cuttlefish what wonders i would create*
female /human/ a fairly blank canvas unadorned in color but for eyes hair and skin no spectacular showing of plumage no mysterious change in texture or majestic wing
some humans are aware of this (seemingly) overlooked pomp and circumstance i want more bird i want more cuttlefish
so i seek a chain made of silver to remind me of my shape i seek paint of many colors to adorn my feet and hands i change the color of my hair with the wind i line my eyes in black i paint my lips if i need warpaint i shall have it if i desire to blend in then i shall where can i shine? where can i glow? where can i pattern myself like a leopard?
now i am powerful because i am me now i fit better into nature because i am of nature i am as human as i can get
/i am all animals and all things/ roaring and silent swift and slow beautiful and plain because i am human i can choose it because i am human i create it because i am human i am claiming it *and you are my witness
