“I’ve Got The Whole Milky Way In My Aura.”
by Nia Malika Dixon
The snake
Is gone.
Shed the scars, like scales.
Shed the skin, be stars.
Explode, big bang
Start from the beginning
As God said
“Be.”
You are the nebula, expanding
No man can recreate you
You create life
inside you
God laid hands on you
And you are glorious.
Galaxies uncharted
by anyone afraid to
explore your dangerous
curves and unexplained
existence.
Unending and infinite
you are the pulsar
celestial, rapidly spinning
emitting
undulating
ever-changing
voluminous and
transcending.
You create life
with your words
and your thoughts
and your feelings
and your burgeoning
solar systems
explode new universes
everyday by the grace of
God.
You are powerful
a grandiose nimbus
spreading
opening
loving
giving
telling.
Your aura, a corona
of an aurora
enough to break
the day
and crack the universe open
incandescent and new
with God
in the middle
with
You.
