Ink

she wants to write
her story in a way
that slowly penetrates
your soul

sitting with you,
patiently inscribing her words
into tender flesh
passionately, lovingly, gently
sharing her story

all of it, in such a way
that will not be easily forgotten
to be worn proudly,
the calligraphy of her life
drawn out
onto flesh made paper

let there be no
shame in it,
the unveiling of all
she is
even her mistakes,
which were made in the
name of love
