The Day After Graduation

i hope i am brave, to move when it's time to--
me. unadorned. staring into some face like mine. searching for something better than truth. happy with what i have found. imperfect. able.
writhing in my skin to change. not knowing what the answers are. screaming the answers/questions in my sleep. dreamless, wandering dreamer.
golden like nothing gold could be.
becoming myself. afraid. erupting.
some sort of writer. some kind of beautiful. something like moonlight. too soon to tell. secretive. honest. a fucking hypocrite. contained. enormous.
cliche like "all my heart".
inhabiting the cloud. staring into some face like mine. loving me, horrified...worshipful. praying. muted by the passage of time.
furious.
unadorned. like a fist in the belly. a shortness of breath.
writhing in my skin to change.
breast to breast with the goddess. imperfect. happy with what i have found.
disciple. dust. vessel. of love.
something like moonlight.
wandering. contained.
i hope i am brave, to move when it's time to.
