God the aspiring writer

—To command means to entrust
at least it was so in Latin
I know, I googled it
Am I boring you? Sorry
etymology nerd, me!
—I want to be a commander so bad
to entrust my sweet sweet stories, my mad mad fantasies, all of them (all of them)
to you
(to you)
but would you obey?
(to obey means to listen, hah!)
—It’s so simple, see:
the creation, the prohibition, the deception, the rebellion
the falling, the killing, the dying, the rising
the squeezing & easing, the rhythm of a heart throbbing
is what makes it all of a piece
it being this gift
I hand-made for you
breathed my life into it for you
(did you know pandora means the giver of all gifts?)
open it like a box, disregard the expiry date
find hope clinging to a bottom corner, forever in wait
—Oh it’s nothing, really
baby, you know you are always welcome
