Silence the mind. 

Distance the heart.

Sever false truths.

She exists in a way unknown to you. 

Her former name slips away,

fresh voice emerging, it’s a new day.

Even the way she walks has changed.

The space between them left in the dark.

She shadows. She shades.

Lies nude in her favorite park.

Flips through a book,

no words, she writes her own story.

To the past, present, and what’s still becoming.

In her changing smile, glory, glory.
