the weight of magnolia petals
oxford, uk - april 4th 2026
you were found
amongst the weight
of magnolia petals
heavy upon my chest
a stone sinks
into the belly
of such a tender breast
churning fields of yellow
vibrating
at frequencies
misunderstood
by almost all
that do not have the eyes to see
or the sensitivity
of touch
to know
what’s going on here
the longing to be witnessed
in that full
shimmering sea
as ripples
topple ideas
of what you think you see
a grief as bold
as magnolia petals
in early april
anchored here
in death throes
that permeate
every cell of forgetting
i feel you my love
your only request
is reality
an authenticity
so radical
that it obliterates the world as she knows it
i feel you my love
your only request
is everything
a truth so stark
and devastatingly beautiful
that it dismembers
illusions of authority
and disassembles
hierarchy
with trembling
brutality
a rearrangement
that liberates
bodies
and voices
to know only
the song of god
an exhale
of chains
thick with torment
tells a story of truth
to be found
amongst that
hopelessly
intricate web
of blind fear
where the weight
of magnolia petals
seem like a burden
have courage
my love
this precious life
will show you the way
i was found
amongst the weight
of magnolia petals
