Maggie Devers
She was in her prime
And she knew it.
It wasn’t just the swagger,
It was her ain’t give a damn
About any of it.
She could wake up
And be
Whatever she wanted
To be.
She could transform herself in the moment
Burn and rise from the ashes
Unsheathe her sword to vanquish foes
Cuddle the cat as the rain rambles down
Anything she wants
To be
Is hers
She knows
The prison of identity is only in the mind
And she’s limbered hers up over the years
Studying chameleons and flying squirrels
To learn the ways of flashing in the light.
