Calling forth the deliciousness

I hid all the beauty and the divine, 
pretending that I lived 
with a heart that was different to mine. 
I piled up dirt and built stone walls, 
I kept everything tight and small. 
My body begged to take up space, 
to feast on life and faith, 
but I denied the fullness of me. 

Now I'm saying no more, 
I will no longer sacrifice. 

I will be loud and proud and unruly. 
I will howl and roar and laugh, 
I will dance and turn and swirl around 
the fire pit of the gods, 
the blood of the poets. 
I am done pretending my heart 
is anything but savage.
