Voices
I've been in the desert for years now,
My name hanging heavy
from my neck, all I want is a future
where I'm not sifting through the sand for hints
of glass, pieces of a self I want to become.
If the best of me is a handful of days
I haven't lived yet, make each day
into a room where I can sleep soundly,
let me pass from room to room
and throw all the windows open.
In this echo chamber, I throw my voice
until it sounds bigger than what I fear
becoming, until it is all I can become,
and still it isn't enough—please, cut my name
from my neck, move the letters around
until I have a new name, make my voice
bigger than it is, make me more than
All of this
My name hanging heavy

If the best of me is a handful of days
I haven't lived yet, make each day
into a room where I can sleep soundly,
let me pass from room to room
and throw all the windows open.
In this echo chamber, I throw my voice
until it sounds bigger than what I fear
becoming, until it is all I can become,
and still it isn't enough—please, cut my name
from my neck, move the letters around
until I have a new name, make my voice
bigger than it is, make me more than
All of this
