piqued into a new glowing,
I strain at my bonds
shake the slick ribbon
of doubt
from around my mouth
sit on my hands
to keep from shaking
A storm is gathering within
my center
the hot pink light emanating
from between my thighs
fuchsia slicing through
moonlight
I look up
and drink in the milk
of the stars
I am ready.
to break through
time and space
mini-novas flying
'round my head
like spinning angels
iridescent dust,
rising in slow motion
dragonfly confetti
in my hair
eyes a-light from
aurora borealis
Vulnerable by choice,
I stand my ground
push through rope and burlap
without mercy, for
burns do not matter
anymore
explode up and out
my soul's entry parts
wide open
I welcome the universe
letting the growing
inside, taking force
having its way with me
spidery vines twirling through
my ribcage
around my spine
the seeds I have planted
now pushing flowerbursts
through my heart
a bloom
for each beat
reflecting magenta
I had been sitting there
way too long
bound to this chair
my arms pinned harshly
by the wire
now I run with
my private wolf
head back
howling like the
wind,
hair wild
like the untamed
journey
of my
soul
