Dear Poet

Elizabeth Estrada
Dear Poet

Dear poet

you are brave

you are soul meets planet earth

and earth meets shockwave and

shockwave meets elevated consciousness

and elevated consciousness meets

you.

Poet

The one who just wants to create

Lost in societies bait

But she just

wants

to

Create.


So dear poet,

Who are you?

Deep down you know

wave to current

seed to fruit

human to being

magic, mystic, complex, messy

Connecting ideas like dots from pen to paper

brush on canvas

thought is now action


Dear poet,

you are sweet, patient

sometimes fearful and rampant

Chaotically calm like a popping wax candle scented from the oceanic oak trees

Back to the original organism

orgasmic in your rhythm

loose in your movement

Firm in idea

Frozen yogurt melts with slippery strawberries

They say unfortunate,

You say

Art.

period blood wiped on gut

they say dirty,

you say

Art.


It’s the Primal pride

no menstrual shame

ancestral energies within

you ride for change

desiring it now

But everything has a time and place

A time and place

a time and taste

Sweet with a touch of salt

Umami

yes I have mommy

issues

daddy

issues

Yet I choose to sit in light and it shines brighter than any problem in the way

So

Remind yourself

it’s okay to play

let the inner child run through


Dear poet,

you perform surgery on words and end up healing

yourself.
