Me

I am of

stardust and song lyrics

the things that make up me and the universe.

I am descended from

the rulers, the ancestors. The makers and creators.

I am

red stinging hands

dirty paintbrushes

graphite-stained fingertips

fresh clean notebook pages.

I am scream-singing and feet-tap-tapping along to music.

Pencil scritch-scratch-scribbling in the margins.

I am a part of the world that’s part of me that’s part of the world.

Together we are everything.
