Así Soy

I am magic
down to my every bone.

Deep in every cell

I carry the imprint

of some dancing mother

ready to embrace me

in the twine of forgotten DNA.

My magic within hums

in tune to the magic around me.

My bones remember the beat

even when my mouth stumbles over the words.

This magic and I are one.

There is no wall

saying, “Here it begins”

and “There it stops.”

But you want to quantify it, own it

while at the same time looking down on it.  

Imagine that…

Consider that magic flees from disdain

and force. Stop and understand

that eyes that have decided on definitions

before they are even opened are as good as blind.
