Real & Magic by Ayaana Sabb


Real & Magic

What if you could birth yourself? A pure
thing, baptized by the flying spit of hollering
mouths, ripe sweat and falling tears, holy
waters & you fall too & you fly too – you too
ripe & holy. Born grown: real & magic when
you dance across the floor you realize
freedom was your body all along
