diaspora


when i dis-own you - 
dear claim to body, belonging 
to ideas, history, a story, 
like all things, the past 
transforms, morphs 
with the present 
and a future: 
the only thing we haven't conquered yet, 
sheds light on all the corners, 
angles, cycles, and borders 
we hadn't been allowed to/allowed 
ourselves to cross - 
it is to re-member 
you more perfect,
more genuine, 
more beautiful 
than i was able to 
attached to the material 
things of this world.
