She-Wolf

I could not be domesticated,
my bones remember the howl
before thought wakes and

permission learns to crawl.

Antigravity

Flying makes me imponderable
to every earthy law or logic.
I tend to dissolve each possibility
in pieces of anxiety.
I let my irrationalities roam free
through the exit rows.

Threshold

If you can walk alone, hike alone,
run alone, travel alone
If you can sit alone in a café
without scrolling through someone else’s life
If you can watch the sunset
with no one naming the colors
