Let me enunciate.
Bless - ed - ness.
I am adding ‘ness,’ turning a forever grateful adjective into a claimed noun. Cana’s Wedding divinity is delivered here today in Soddy-Daisy.
Soddy-Daisy sucks me into her emerald green.
My inside twinkles with her coolness for the rest of the day. She fights the Southern heat and churnings of my unfiltered nightmares.
Dipping inside of her again,
I whisper,
Ah no,
I enunciate.
Bless - ed - ness.
Sealing what you and I have received from her,
I christen us
with glistening tears that soaks my hair for days,
with sun left on my thighs
to burn up our curses for many more years to come.
