We know our place
as conjurors of levity
it's misfits together
striving for insanity and kissing
every comet in the velvet veil
enduring effigies of rose onyx
in a Victorian menagerie
My heart had only been broken
so I could know you
I have no fear of my mind or my talent
I forge a path through the backyard
invaded and undone by Ailanthus altissima
allowing a lashing from the overgrowth on my skin
knowing this isn't all that we are
knowing that my parents raised me for love
knowing this city is a twirling jewel
knowing that my parents raised me for love
knowing this city is a twirling jewel
in her wisdom she blesses us and
we raise her up
this city of cosmic strength
this hub of joy
a timeless beauty
