Transparency

  • You're not sensitive, you're aware of  your surrounding.

  • You're not slow, you're in your own process.
  • You're not resentful, you have boundaries.
  • You're not detached, you're at more places at once.
  • You're not complicated, you see many outcomes.
  • You're not quiet, you hear more than words.
  • You're not boring, you're bored by emptiness.
  • You're not a loner, you see through masks.

  • You're not picky, you don't like shelves.
  • You're not fearful, you're humble.
  • You're not selfish, you acknowledge yourself.
  • You're not weird, you refuse affectation. 
  • You're not reactive, you're alive.

Water your flames

The same tears that saw you
come from fireplace
The same mother gave birth
to river and the flames
and if I say I love you
I don't claim your space
my spirit is free because
it doesn't come from this place

The tenderness looks young
and patience speaks so slow
their power is ancient
they never grow old
when you mock behind their back
they pretend they don't know
they let you draw your path
of spoken words, yours alone

The vanity comes last
to the table of our host
it's the final guest
it's the dictator and the whore
when the war is over
she eats from every plate
you have to let her be
water your flames 
she'll eat to death.
