Transmuting Explosion

Such fright and anxiety 

Depression and anger 

In people’s eyes and bodies

My own

A highly tense body

Walking around all wound up

Simmering small explosions 

Like at the bottom of the ocean

Or during the rumbling of a volcano

Predicting a gigantic blast of lava

Or tsunami  

Wear and tear on body

Chattering brain noises

Stress induced fantasies

Hurry up, go fast

NOW!!!

As she aged, Virginia Satir once said

"It is time to pull in a few breasts"

Or else, Crab Nebula

An Exploding Star

Let someone else take care 

Of the babies

Now

Let the violence erupt all around

Without chasing or 

Trying to fix all of this chaos

Let hostility slide by

Watch it, stunned but

Not as much a part of it

Like before

A bit detached

Floating sparkles

Outside of the orbiting

Gravitational pull

Magnetic embrace

Possibly ruffling feathers by

Stepping out of the rat race, having

Aggressively pushed against patriarchy and

Corrupt Authority

Cultural norms

Abuse of women and black and brown people

Damnation of both immigrants and LGBTQI communities

Genocide  

A body more at ease

Healthy and strong

Spirit soaring

Fewer climactic crises

Silence increases

A peace at last

Sharper, clearer than ever before

Not as alert to danger or fear

As if cuddled up in soft embryonic fluid

Without the pressure of being born 

Anytime soon

Relax here

For

Now
