I am Kendra,
& this is so–
I bellow it deeply
& repeat costumes from my drawer.
My well of emotions
is from the whole of my control–
I find it odd to label
what is not of one’s own-
Then why do I claim the words
as mine known-
when in actuality it
is from the glitches I am shown.
I create constructions of thou,
who mightest be me,
but then complain
when that mightiest version
is my highness beyond eternity—
For why beckon for credit
when thou art the living truth-
The waking monuments of ancient swimmers
reincarnating into youth-
& co-existing through contract:
We are the cast of Godspells,
Who signed up for the act.
With me, Remember:
The precious calls we received,
while waiting in the wings
for our cue to believe.
Remember:
Our shared glances backstage,
when the director was our Father,
& our mind was the page.
To be in agreement,
to flow,
yes,
from the bowl of healing
sounds and returning
scenes of our homes.
To be of agreement and free-will
in one–
To act from singular motive,
while also dancing for fun…
