A HIDING PLACE AS BIG AS TEXAS


low and behold
I got mixed up
in another darkness
and this time it’s me.

I wanted to waltz in,
wave my long arm
and finally witness some magic,
not be crowned queen
of the underworld,
the secret kept in a portal
between selves.

in my defense
the solstice was coming.
the ocean was calling.
we were catapulting
through time and space
and you were rolling my name
over your tongue
again and again
getting accustomed
to the way I am.

like a lullaby
the shadow was there
when I felt shy.
