we will hold a space
a tender structure
made of breath and bones and flame
and all is change
and it moves through me
and we’ll start over
again and again and again
we invoke the names of restless spirits
we’ll make sure that the hunt never ends
we invoke the names of the ones who held us
and we will rise up again and again and again
we invoke the names
we will rise up like water
wreck ships in our wake
we are strong beyond measure
our hearts will not break
we will rise up like water
wreck ships in our wake
we are strong beyond measure
there are no mistakes
