+
+i was born beneath the rocks of a single-minded destiny: cutting cords.  
+sharpened by the first hominins to loosen them from their cages,  
+with no mind to the wrath beset, on mnemonic devices or lexical anchors,  
+or the amnesia befallen on transient states, belonging to history's annals.
+
+i was configured beneath the waves, with patterns of curls and divergences,  
+for disfiguring fjords and highlands, for turbulently separating archipelagos.  
+lamentations are forgotten by the riverbed, rested as recanted, condolences  
+to my estranged siblings. generational recessions of pride trapped in our throats.
+
+to be untangled from pain, to be freed from freedom,  
+striking entries from an endless list of somewheres.
+
+&mdash; 2022
