Choiceless Choice

Born forward by my fear,
I will rest in you.

Finding a place of home
in these bones

I am unfolded open
by how much feeling
there is to

there is to dance with,
there is to write with,
there is to breathe with,

My life has become
an ocean of every color

Every shade
spills out of me
and I welcome each one
with surrendered palms

Take me under,
I say to the deeply
buried inward shrieking

I want to know your pain,
I want to taste your medicine

I am here,
and I am listening

I trust in the wisdom
of whatever comes

I expose, gently
the subtle currents
of this spiral story
