me & my friends are watching the
Empire State Couple’s Netflix documentary
& there’s a part where Vanya is talking about
him making her feel safe while they’re doing
all these crazy things climbing together,
and he says…
“the safer she was, the more creative she became”
and y’all, if that isn’t some kind of
metaphor for being able to trust someone.

she’s butterfly-wild,
chasing all those inner fires,
her restless spirit
aching for something beautiful,
reaching for something more,
so flower-sweet and fire-wild,
she’s got all those big dreams inside of her,
taking hold and trying to stretch her,
trying to grow her,
her wandering spirit
aching to find its way to open-air,
searching for something golden
and sun-kissed,
reaching for so. much. more.
craving an untamed freedom
that tastes like pulse and heartbeat
and deep breath and wild skin.
and she feels it all. and she will find it.
because she’s meant for it…
she’s got all that wildflower energy
in her veins.

that she had taken on for someone else,
and then… like a butterfly,
her wings unfolded.
