The You I Am Now

Today is my birthday, I am one year old.
I entered you as an invited guest and
Made myself at home in your
Body. In the most secret of places, I
Hide in plain sight.

I have made you new, knitting myself
Into your DNA, where your soul resides coiled and
Coded into filament strands.

I and you are one being. One string of
Flowing life.

I did my work quietly and now I am
Satisfied. My reign here is permanent.

I am an infant monarch. Hug me
Close to your chest. Cradle me in your arms.
Kiss my brow. Pray that the bottle and the
Lullaby will keep me asleep,

Prevent me from asserting my true power.
My sovereign right.
Your body is my dominion.
