I've fallen so much times.
Was like a wave,
breaking only to return.
I made my body a seal
to close the fear
of thunder in the dark.
Don't dread,
feet are light breeze
but thighs are somber clouds.
Every movement is a breath
that moves the storm.
The twist of the hip
is the earth that turns.
Flick of the shoulder is a river.
Every punch is anger,
every blow is love.
Every blow is anger,
every punch is love.
Muscles are verb,
voice is avalanche.
I vibrate with a strength
that's not mine.
Like a leaf in the wind,
I'm an instrument of a will
that intercedes mine.
And like a seed in a ripe fruit,
I dream of dreaming.
