#myriad silvre

[calicovoices]

There's one other name you may know me by. ...Starwisp.

Special thanks to releasetheweasel for that punnish quote. Also, I'm pretty sure I've been watching too much Arrow because my high-fantasy Zephyrite looks a lot like a vigilante.

Starwisp in Divinity's Reach

antivenin

sitting here

let me remove the venom

and my rings

and my wings

and breathe you in

the volume

the senses coating my lungs

a cosmic breath

a nebulous whisper

speaking creation

until i evolve higher and higher

beyond what i have been

into what i should be

when i reign in my sight

and just let go

to the feeling

to the air

to the breath

relax and understand

drunk on knowledge

imagination and emotion

feasting on echoes

what has happened before

what reverberates through my nerves

and spills through my blood

memories of what i used to be

what i could become

and where i am

innocence pricked with fangs

juice dripping in ribbons

shaking blood away from my hands

and everything again is ribbons

on the outside of my flesh

the nether of my skin

mirrored against brittle bones

and mucus and tissue

to where i truly am

my feet touch stars

my fingers clutch moss

i need to let go

and i fear where i will float

liquid, seeping through cells

into dreams

through synapses

into echoes

ghosts vibrating through my skull

biting their own lips in anticipation

of ascension -- naked, without wings

left to hover near the ground without learning to fly

no permission granted

we’re to stay here

and swallow up our questions

hold our tongues

grin and bear it
