Little Earthquakes

tremors ripple muscles

i'm shaking, quivering, straining, sweating

realizing while I hold this pretzel 

how much I try to control

how much i need to release.

i yield, 

i hold.

i waver, 

i compensate.

i effort.

i push.

i power.

i fix

a catastrophe of femininity.

i seek the strength in softness!

allowing...

i seek a power source of light particles and joy

i seek a fluidity 

peace

home inside my bodyhome.

i am the earth loosing her cliffs to the ocean.

i am the tree flinging away leaves with a smile.

i am crystal deposits unearthed, traveling far from home.

i am

silent.

chaos.

changing.

becoming
