You Are Oceanic {Poetry}

Klimt

“All she wanted
 was

to find a place to stretch her bones
.

A place to lengthen her smiles

and spread her hair
.

A place where her legs could walk

without cutting and bruising
.

A place unchained
.

She was born out of ocean breath.

I reminded her;

‘Stop pouring so much of yourself

into hearts that have no room for themselves.

Do not thin yourself
.

Be vast
.

You do not bring the ocean to a river’”

 

-Tapiwa Mugabe
