May 25 -

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 beWhatever she wanted To be.
She could transform herself in the momentBurn and rise from the ashesUnsheathe her sword to vanquish foes Cuddle the cat as the rain rambles down
Anything she wantsTo beIs hersShe knows
The prison of identity is only in the mindAnd she’s limbered hers up over the years Studying chameleons and flying squirrels To learn the ways of flashing in the light.
- Maggie Devers
