A ball in the belly.
A ball of stone.
Heavy and rocky, set in my bones.
I wish for closure, to find my amends.
The weight can’t be lifted
Clenches and stands
Shake it off, girl
Murmur with me
Old skin sits tight
and snakes are my gift.
Love, grant me one thing
The passage to fly
The canyon is open
with a lover’s eye.
