In all her chaotic glory
Rich, opulent, affluent, wealthy,
They mean the same, they say
But no, not to her
Not to her tongue, that rolled around the letters
Not to her teeth that clenched at the stresses
Not to her lips the cuffed the words
In all her chaotic glory
She speaks to people with the same names
Listens to people of the same hearts
Taps her chin at people of the same faces
Narrows her eyes at people from the same places
In all her chaotic glory
She drapes her wrist over the fence
Pulses, throbs, thumps, and beats
Pounding in her heart, sensing a rustle, a flutter
She feels the veins behind her eyes aflame, alive;
hunting, prowling, sniffing for her muse.
Words from her lashes, dark as the moon’s shadow
Carve poetry-sweet nectar, stardust and words-
All conjured from the crevices of immortalized music,
Thumps of funeral beats,
Edges of flowers, vertices of tears
Shell of lips, curves of ears.
In all her chaotic glory
She watches, sees, observes, notices
The thrum of the hearth, echoes of the sea, the chambers of your soul
The god in your eyes
(poem is by me. pics are not)

She no longer feared what brewed within her, and she was done making apologies for who she was
