my DNA is a self-made daisy chain strung together with the best of intentions and a few yards of dental floss
it's always getting tangled up in moon beams and boot strings tugging me in one thousand directions at once like the sea pulling at the limitless shorelines hem
i am magic
my flesh reflects the hue of the desert dust the winds bathe me in speckled with freckles that occasionally line up with the stars
what a fool i'd be to paint myself into obscurity with make-up brushes and lipstick hues
no
i choose me
excessively sensitive to the energy of all other living beings always feeling everything all the pain and happiness love and fear and angst at once lumped in with the leaves of my tea destined to forever reside within me
the high-priestess of the immeasurable things the guardian of treasures unseen constantly filling my sundress with ***** pebbles broken feathers and all the stardust i can find
i've spent the last one thousand life times being everywhere at the EXACT same time
you should know you were there
and oh such love i've found hiding in the shallows in the mud and under the edges of your finger nails
even in the darkness of the vast and ever-stretching sky there is so much light so very many precious gems hoisted into timeless settings along the milkyway's head-dress
i promise where i am right now is the best place to be
and if you don't believe me crane your neck towards the stars
