Tonight I stand on the edge of a thousand universes knowing nothing on
earth can touch me. Tonight I run naked through the forest, grateful that the
snakes and jaguars allow me to continue my fantasy where I am dominant in a
land I do not know. Tonight I learn to see heat lightning and take photos of
black to tell a story about place which cannot be put into words. Tonight, I
know I can fly. Tonight I smell myself, feel the moths and ants crawling on my
skin, sweat, run, jump and pray. Tonight I see the moon in all her glory.
Tonight I am infinite and so connected to all that is and has ever existed.
Tonight I let myself feel place without seeing the scars. Tonight I take a journey
to a land far from home. Tonight I know danger and hope I won’t feel it.
Tonight I could jump off this tower and be the happiest I’ve ever been until
the second I hit solid ground. Tonight I want to spend hours watching the
stars, going back in time to the universe where all of them burned bright. Tonight
I feel whole because I am uncivilized.
Tonight, I see the glow of the oil town to the north, and I know why I
am fighting.
