I am from mythic hues of orange and blues, 

Where the setting sun greets the gentle waves.

From solemn mornings and soft bed sheets,

To boisterous cackles and tire swings,

I am from the jostling of jewelry—

I fear death
The way I fear the end of a song
Like I fear my favorite part being gone in an instant
A moment I can never get back
A note I experience only for a blip

My body is a universe
My freckles are the stars
The planet Venus is my lips
My teeth, they come from Mars

Mercury is in my brow
The furrow that you see
My thighs are Jupiter, you know
In the galaxy of me

at all, 

1, 2, 3, 4, 

all go in and out the other side, 

it's always been this way, 

kindergarten and getting in trouble because I could not solve,

2 minus 5. 

I will always remeber the border, 

a line that is so man made no animals see it, 

a line that is so man made you have to prove your worth to get to the other side.

I will always remember the fear I had, 

Do you ever grieve something

that isn't even over yet?

It's like you know

that's it's going to be gone anyway,

that you're going to miss it

so much,
