raccoon

poem by me ♡

I place it all into the stream
this stream vibrating with light
this stream flowing as it
was always meant to flow

I place it all into the stream
the hope that has faded
the sorrow that risks the dam
the shadows that weigh

I place it all into the stream
and initially the intensity
increases like a vast cicada
song humming within my skin

I place it all into the stream
and once it is felt, once it is
given a voyage name, it de-
parts, and I breathe with ease

I (this self vibrating with light
this self flowing as she
was always meant to flow)
place it all into the stream
