Another Story

You didn’t like the last story in your life’s book,
so you wrote yourself another one.
In this story,
you do not wear your body as an apology.

Instead you wear it like a quiet revolution,
you carry the future in the back pocket of your jeans,
say girl, say glory
each step forward is an amen
