the creator

the creator is the first to see art in this;
art in the way we move, love, live
our inherent creativity:
the birthright that comes with the outright deviancy
of living in these bodies

these
fat,
not fat enough
disabled
queer
yellow brown black
poor, “trashy”
genderrebelling
unconventional
outspokenly disobedient
bodies

yes those bodies

the creator reveres these bodies, knowing that they are sources of indelible power
call and responses begging to be written
and sung in chorus

the creator seeks guidance from these bodies, knowing that they are maps
written in the palms of our hands, quietly waiting to be opened
and begin giving direction

the creator cherishes these bodies, knowing that they are truth,
the resting grounds for foremothers, lovers, and dreamers
who are seeking home

the creator studies these bodies, knowing that they are throwbacks to the past,
these times, even the future
if you are brave enough to look

the creator sees these bodies
and sees art, our birthright
never brokenness

that’s the creator i know,
