You have no jurisdiction here (a poem for boundary-making)

The outline of my being

shines brighter than
agreements I made before now
but thank you for the
bond
that bound me
for now I know
my endless expanse

my fences are
not so much about you not being
welcome
(although you’re not)

It’s that this is now
and it is me
and I am in space
and that covers it all.

Love,

Danielle
