Poetry

 Poem by photographer Selia Qynn

I am from green leaves and an all-consuming urge to eat.

I am from an inward spin into deep sleep, and dreams of transformation.

I am from glimpsing another world through the eyes of stirring slumber.

I am from the empty husk of yesterday.

I am from a cellular re-invention of self.

I am from far-flung migratory winds.

I am from trust.

I am from steady places of abundance.

I am from trap doors to freedom.

I am from the leap of faith, building wings on the way down.

I am from the event horizon between realities.

I am from using new tools in an old world.

I am from seeing the familiar with new eyes.

I am from the hard-wired wisdom of dna.

I AM MONARCH
