#40

i remember walking into the cloak room
and telling my 2nd grade girlfriend
that today…
i wore a bra
it was my cousin’s
taken from her panty drawer
flung over my shoulders
b cups barely pressed
across the base of my rib cage
with the clasp peeking
out of the back of my shirt
it was time
(...in 2nd grade)
to be a woman.
to gird and hoist
what had yet
to be actualized

40 days to destiny

Peace!

Starting Tuesday March 31st, I will begin writing a poem a day until my graduation on May 9th. This comes at a great time because April is National Poetry Month. This "fast" will be about sacrifice of self, and pure documentation as I transition out of one phase of life into another.

If you would like to join me on this journey feel free!

I will also be making physical sacrifices to sweeten the experience (I've recently stopped eating chicken, and I have been limiting myself to one dairy item a day). I'm ready to be the best Eris Zion Venia as I turn 25years young.

So I ask for prayers and energy as I enter into this high stress 40days. I am certain that my poetry will assist in helping me cope with the difficulties I will soon endure.

Your prayer can be poetry, and poetry can be your prayer. ~Noelani Day

Nameste!
