A Different Kind of High
She’s from the Earth
Where life and death are very old companions
Perpetually in a push-pull conversation
Where death is constantly on the run
Trying to hold her captive
Nonetheless, she’s got that fierce kind of vibe
The salt in her wounds doesn’t trouble her anymore
Away with those dusty ashes
They’re buried whole in her box of memories
She’s not afraid anymore
An unflinching magnet for the light
Confidently standing before these enormous mountains
Feeling limitless and free
For solitude is her fuel for life
And her ticket to a world of authenticity.
