i'd have you raised up to the
height of your truth;
elevated above the assured
counterfeit of lesser minds,
who chance against the atomic
weight of your best self.
you are picturesque
you are positive self-proof
you are a grant against the greed of
the soul-swindlers
don't hasten toward those who
ask you to shine for their behalf,
for they do so in service of
their own squalid darkness -
their attentions are puerile fictive
tell them to fly from you.
tell them, 'i am no girl,
i am velocity and sulfur;
inferno and the elegance of fire.'
