myths matter

life is sacred

trembling

steadying

we are the generation

standing together

at the threshold

asking for miracles

from the mystery

they desecrated

and leadership

from systems unfit

for governance

the earth is crying

collapsing

we are listening

remembering

readying

rising

receiving our own

radical permission

to light

and tend

the fires

of

devotion

and

forgiveness

to reawaken

the myths

that matter

and live

in the moist rhythms

of our bodies

and this

urgently beautiful

world
