I have these moments of epiphany.
It is while I watch myself
Wake up and not kiss the soil.
The days I don’t remember
What color the sky was
Or how I treated my mother.
Each time I fly and I realize
There is nothing more breathtaking
Then seeing her from above.
Powerful, Resilient, Art, Oppressed, Female.
That is why I fall in love with the Earth,
She reminds me of all the women I’ve ever loved
That I do not deserve.

I have these moments of epiphany.
It is while I watch myself
Wake up and not kiss the soil.

Or how I treated my mother.
Each time I fly and I realize
There is nothing more breathtaking
Then seeing her from above.
Powerful, Resilient, Art, Oppressed, Female.
That is why I fall in love with the Earth,
She reminds me of all the women I’ve ever loved
That I do not deserve.
