yes, yes, i am wild, i am eyesore, i am
the wind that makes breathing hard,
i am the ocean and the battered shore,
name me witch. name me salem, name me
lover of the evening coals. name me dangerous,
see me swim through your liquid insults
as evidence. i was always
some fae, some siren, some succubus.
yes, i am ugly and wanting and hungry.
i will eat the hell they make for me.
this is my home and i do not exist
for the sheer purpose of beauty.
name me mountain, name me sickening, name me
goddess almighty.
this is my home, i am daughter of fire and air.
i do not exist to make your day sunny. i will be ice storms
and tempests if i choose to be.
this is my home, i am daughter of water and earth
i do not exist to silently agree. i will be
the passion of thunder, the crack in mirrors,
a howl of fury.
yes, yes, i am myth, i am magic, i am destruction. yes,
i am more than flowers and teacakes and crowns, i am
all that and then some. yes, i wear your words like little
white lilies. you may throw what you like. they mean nothing.
go on, name me sack of bones, name me rail, name me
bracken
you cannot harm me.
i was born dragon.
