Description:

'i see smoke each time i look in the mirror
perhaps this is God’s way of keeping me safe
he knows i’m tired of seeing dead birds in rusting cages.
last night, i called the wind and asked
how she taught the dove to fly
“the sky is a map if you know how to look”
she said.
and i looked at my skin,
marked the places i cannot love.
there are mountains in spots i want rivers to flow
scriptures buried on the ground where trees grow
i guess my skin is a map,
there are stars hanging and the moon is painting constellations
someday, i’ll find my way through.'
