Me, myself, and I





I live
in the space
between flickers
of where
I once was
and where
I'll next be.

I sing
from the hollows
of birds' nests
and cry out
from rainbows
when thunder
has passed.

I name myself
Hermes,
Apollo,
Aphrodite...

I dance in
glass slippers
till midnight
arrives, hailed
by my laugher.

Soot is no
longer my master.
I lay down my head.
Lilies crown me
