And the mountains stood up
and the trees did bloom
and color redefined itself
rivers cracked open their bleary eyes
and the ocean stretched her legs
the earth did sigh and sighed again
and the cliffs relaxed their stony faces.
They stopped and stared
at the wonders before them
they call these creatures inanimate
oblivious
they marvel at their growth
yet thinking not why
rather standing glassy eyed
when their faults led them to be locked
and put away
their world begins to breathe.
I will not shave my legs
not because I am against it
but because being myself feels like my own act
of rebellion
I will not quiet down
let the world hear my pride and excitement
but I will not shout
When you get an eyelash in your eye
a wish will fall in with it
each one holds memories
stained with the makeup of your life
if the memory is tainted
with trauma, fear, or pain
The Glass Statue Girl
looks at the world with eyes of shards
moves through life like a river
her figure sluicing across paths of people
who see a clear accessory
