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

an introduction.
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
