affirmations

i was born from clay
from mud and dirt
from cruel gods, cold light
fingerprints swirl across my skin
as if i was once art

yellow sunflowers in a yellow pot
van gogh's fingerprints lost to the bouquet

i let the sun touch me now
(he isn't the sun;
he is the closest i need to be)
his tongue smoothing the marks of the old gods
his hands whispering the secrets of stars to my stomach

i will let them redefine me as enough
