Inheritance

Posted on May 10, 2021May 10, 2021 by Torrey

There was lightning in the clouds that night–

Murky and bubbling waves-

Tribulation was precision struck against the tattered forms we

made after years of light-breathing and warmth-spreading

—

I am still yearning to pass down this breath-

to find solace in the meandering of my grasswoven

childhood memories of sunlight filtered into torn bodies.

Scrapes filled in with nothing but the hopes of scars.

—

I still make the sign when I look up at the moon.

three fingers crossed over my heart, in

prayer to my own gods and

apologies.

Maybe the solace comes from knowing

I haven’t ever stopped the prayers

for you, too.

You still have a place in the night,

at least
