picked;
we are born
heavenly
on this earth.
we have gone
across planes,
our paths beaten
by our hands,
drums in palms,
plains flourishing.
we have learned to walk
one step, relearned,
learned to breathe
one breath, relearned,
a collection of motions,
a celebration of chords.
we have revolved
around celestial bodies
with resolved valour,
solving the unknown
with new paths,
versed wise patterns.
we have leaned into
heat’s given opulence
with poise –
it rose before us,
it bloomed before us,
it calla lilied before us.
every day
we alleviate
to levitate in
the rediscovery
of uninterrupted space.
