SHAPE SHIFTER

She resembles the ocean

With tears as tasteful as the still glistening water while the sun sets along the surface of the sea

She strains her organic self onto her tastebuds and tosses the constructed criticism of society

Although a body of living organisms, she embodies fluidity

Refusing to succumb to the ideal illusion of form or shape

For she is no slave

She’s taking up space

Where her tides can crash and ripple to the rhythm of her heart
