i was invited by my creator.

in her hushing tone

that has soothed

the racing heart

of every quick-footed boy

brought to the lip of pleasure

by the lips

who would make more of him

rushing to my feet

to meet me 

as if to say

now!

you are welcome to this beauty

drop your jaw

let awe be your doctor

this is not your getaway

you are home

i hear her say

over and over

in that low megaphone drone

epic poem

told around the hearthstone

for eternities

i am learning the lines

for this role

the choreography that asks me

to go

to know what’s behind me

to hold lightly

and find timing

inside me

my steps

are beyond blessed

golden eyes expand

beyond west

i have no fear left

i left it there yesterday

as i folded my bed

as if to say

mother, i am but a guest room

please enjoy your stay

…
