Nov 19

then I got it
I’m not Akkadian
or ancient
or classical
meant to be revered or looked up to

I’m whatever comes out of her mouth
the words that curl off her lips
soaked on her tongue
born in her throat
brewed in her chest

if that’s a legend or I’m thrown over the falls
may I crack like porcelain
be brushed together
and glued upright
