[Passionaria]

burning copal
traveling through dimensions
calling your name
out loud

grace
pure intention
fierce elegance
dangerous playmate

Puma, mi amor
truest friend
the one who steadied
me
as I walked alone

we traveled so many
paths together
the you
in me
my fearless
stance

years out of the
jungle
melting into civilized
softened me
spoiled me
allowing myself
to depend on another
severed me
from
my fierceness
the power
of you
in me

falling
dangerous playmate
calling your name
landing on my feet
loving myself
in the dark of night
walking back into the jungle
the moon is out
and I am
hunting you
