Grown woman now,
ascending adolescence,
conflicted childhood,
bastardized baby,
a night of passion
made me.
My skin, bones
and jumble of their genes
co-create many shades
of brown beauty.
Shifting.
Who am I to be? Or become?
Taught fierceness
as a cub,
developing
into a lioness
naturally.
Becoming.
Understanding
and imagining
the lives I have passed
through
to get to this body,
this form now.
Allowing the flow of life
to mesmerize
every breath
of this version of me.
