Use the space as I need / so I breathe / so I call to the sky and hope that there's a god / that's the first time I admitted that out loud / I think of who I was: angry and unyielding / I am still unyielding / to the sky, I hope, even if there is no god / that there is the energy of those we love.

To be born daughter is to be born wind torn / from arms, from the air that shaped them / to be born daughter is to be leader / is to be fraught / is to be alone but always pressed against the next body that opens its mouth to the shape of need / to be born daughter is to wonder / is to know.
