my depression is an angry deity, a jealous god
a thirsty shadow that wrings my joy like a dishrag and makes juice out of my smile.

This year, I am relearning to be chosen.
Which is to say,
I am relearning the way
a kiss swings its golden legs off the edge of your lips
before falling into a red and laughing mouth,
like a heavy, heavy poem.
Which is to say,
I am returning to myself,
to water the houseplants hung in my corners
and shake the dust from the shelves
and reread the pages bent backwards.
This year, I am relearning religion.
Which is to say,
God is a microwave meal and the sermon sits,
swelling, on the brow-bones of the women who love me.
Which is to say,
this is a prayer and in my own way, I say it loud.
Which is to say,
I whisper it into the morning,
when my voice is still remembering itself.
This year, I am relearning to be touched.
Which is to say,
I am remembering the way
to empty someone into yourself
and walk into the night
and become lighter,
become light.
Resolution for the Brave | Ramna Safeer (via inkywings)
