I am the dove by GiGi
I am the doveby GiGi I am the dove.
My song is mournful,a single nerve splitting cry outin painbecause it’s fucking rainingand pouringwith pressure and bullshitand there’s nothing I can do to stop itand it feels like I’ll absolutely burstbefore a diamond is formed.
I am the dove.
I bring the waterthrough tearsand motherhoodand a basket of fresh laundrythat always happens to wind up on the bed,in a lump, similar to the one stuck in my throatfrom all of the wordsthat I want to spitin your face.
I am the dove.
So instead of spitting on you,I scream at myselfand I cry out to God asking,“WHY?!”
Even though I already know the goddamn answers.
Because I just wantthe clipping of my wingsto commenceso I can finally take flightand truly soarthe way God has beenpreparing me.

Write After: National Poetry Month with One Poem Only
Write After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets. I know I write the best when I’m surrounded by beautiful poetry–it’s part of the reason I created this podcast, and I want to encourage others to share this practice.
We'll get started in April. You can share to #WriteAfterOPO.
