The Elephant Says
("you're welcome")
The Elephant Says that i trivialized its complexion-
i saw something i perceived to be worn-
and i equated it to my misery-
designating it the hue of a thing entirely drained of nutrients-
…
The Elephant Says i was over-extending all the essential parts of myself-
causing the dulling of my cosmic elements-
all along holding Gray hostage-
ignorant to the electricity pulsing through it-
…
The Elephant Says the second i shut the hell up-
Gray could expel its beauty-
broadcasting stories i had overshadowed with my gloom-
it was never hollow, i was-
…
The Elephant Says moisturize every Gray strand of hair i find-
thank the most menacing cloud for watering the earth-
wiggle my toes each time the soles of my shoes face the concrete-
notice the hearts beating in those Gray photos-
…
The Elephant Says it accepts my apologies for all the time i wasted-
The Elephant Says “you’re welcome”-
all the while forging a space for others to thrive-
knowing i’ll need to talk again sooner rather than later-
