Today, I am exhausted.

This is the intention -
to squeeze and distribute pressure until
my world is unrecognizable -
saturnine and hostile.

I refuse to be forced into a smaller life.

I am a growing sphere.
amongst a network of people - allies, friends.
We share joy.
We are expansive.

I am luminance -
radiating
shimmering
across the expanse.
Growing and consuming
the penumbra.
