Devotion
By Kimbra Johnson
What is this devotion in my chest?
It spills out of me in childish unrest
A rush of hands to seek the name unborn
and the yearning echo of a life unadorned
By this time, by this night
I will remember what it is to be alive
To pull the string till it gets too tight
and the necessary rupturing which brings fear into the light
What is this shaking song in my sleep?
Mind fraying when I attempt to speak
I must stay with it until it changes
Let the truth come to me through strangers
This I vow, to keep my eyes open
and to sense when the future calls from the unspoken
Till next time,
Very full moon in cancer energies (today is the full moon in Leo according to western astrology; it’s the full moon in cancer according to sidereal astrology, which speaks more to our subconscious/truer nature) 🩵
