intermittent raindrops
cool my skin
like
the intermittent teardrops
on my soul
i am me
and not me
leaning in
listening
and boldly moving forward
honouring truth
that whispers love
no faking this dance tonight

what creature springs forth
on a stormy night
in november
what creature springs forth
from a stormy heart
in november

sideways
the full moon smiles
orient yourself
to see
we wish upon ourselves
the multitude of the stars
yet when we reach
we let truth slip
through fingers
uncertain

yes it's 3am
and yes i am not sleeping
yes i need you


there is an uprising in my heart
cascading from my lips
to you
to everyone


it's not business as usual
it can never be again
until every baby's belly is full
until every dream is imagined
until pathology is buried beneath greed


i will dance
