20150904 The Liability is Void

I do not owe you anything

No measure of my love or affection should be predicated on debt

For if so the fissure will only be a disservice to both of us

I am whole

I am beautiful and know that the foundation of me is not defined by my mistakes

Or the pain I have endured or caused, but by the autonomy of my divine celebration

I am a gleaming intrepid beacon bellowing New Orleans

Every day from here on forward I will not sink into that pit

That lonely trauma is a bola wrapping my ankle like a devil’s tongue lasso anchor

I am magnanimous bombastic survivor emitting the luminescence of the now

Defined not by the tenacity to perpetuate, but the tenacity to be

To embrace this moment with possibility like a smiling gaze soaking the audacity to exist

I exist platypus-like swimming, breathing, and laying where it is home

In the nest of choice breathing, being in the breath

Loving as I so choose
