I consider my existence a series of soul ties. They are not just to any old dead And they share something other than what science said they did A birthright, a lineage A path of light, or shadow They passed down pieces of their soul Comprised of the souls that came before them So I think it's more than DNA or DNA is more than science And science is more than what it says Sometimes I forget Because I see breathing blood And it's not in a vacuum And its not all blood But then I remember How she wanted to be a career woman Or how another spoke Spanish Or how he wrote a book left unpublished Strange and magical, beautiful While tired, hidden, and creating Just as I am Tired of conjugation, childless, and writing I consider my existence a series of soul ties An inheritance of affinities A set of dreams bursting to break through.
