some of my rarities bloomed with a breath forgotten.
oh darling, we spent so much trying to make you grow up better than us.
richer laws all the way down to fancy graves.
this path has beaten me.
every chain that clinked around my little wrists wound up reaching for
another something I'm never supposed to do. knee deep in taboo water
something inside me yanks me forward. now I'm taking a breath,
smiling, running toward a sunset and a sea that says,
"you are finally weightless, so float."
