I was named
after the sky
And my sister the earth
So that my parents
Could live forever
In our care
But though she walked
I could not fly
And the clouds were not friends
But dreams
And when the storms came
I stood by the red pine
And watched it get blown away.
Reclaiming my name meant reclaiming my whole identity
Habits grow stronger when you stop doing them alone
