I did that once.
And I followed it like I followed
my parent’s words as a child;
like a threat and a promise
but more of a threat.
I knew it was the right thing
like I knew my grandma loved me
like the sun was going to come up
the next morning,
arms wide with glowing pink sails.
You know in your heart, they said.
And I did.
I knew a lot of things
And I felt all of the things.
Things that turned me inside out
and stripped me naked
and I liked it…that kind of naked.
Naked met with soft,
like mosses after the rains,
glowing inflorescence,
indisputably alive.
I followed my heart to Here.
And Here is where it breaks
over and over and over.
If this is what people want for me,
for themselves,
they are fucking idiots.
