Heartbeat rising
Reflection of myself
Relief from what I carried and left on the sidewalk
Stretching after spin
It’s clearer to me what needs to be kept
What I will always have
What to let go
What to adorn and use and share
I climb the mountain
Third gear
Oh, Mom, I see us on the dance floor
We are getting down
The tempo increases
Turquoise swirled with purple beads
Caught up in enthusiasm
The sound of the rain
In my aloneness
My fierceness
My independence
The increase in the drops falling
Fury
Intensity
My own rupture
I’m under the umbrella
Red with stripes neon yellow and aqua
I’m stuck in
The downpour
In my freeness
Yearning
Craving it
In it
I choose this spot
Sit here in the beauty
Wetness
Discomfort
I don’t want to leave
I can build up my strengths
Fuck smiling
I might go a whole day without doing
Because why not?
Because why not rest?
Release
Shoulders
Effort
Not raising of the lips
No sir, everything is not ok
It is that bad
It’s not
But who the fuck cares?
