Collection: Built From A Shift

Built From a Shift

She began as a body they could name Built from their language
Carved and contained Etched by inheritance
But something in her refused To stay as she was
A cracking beneath the skin A slow opening into unknown
The shift was not gentle It hurt, but it was necessary
It split, then shaped Formed in her own heat
She no longer resembled her beginning And she did not apologise for it
This was not return This was emergence
Raw, strange, complete
