If I could be lover or mother Spheres and charms and aching arms Holding and unfolding
I would be warmth and spring A flooding creek and Bells ringing, ringing, ringing But I'm shapeshifting
Feathers push from my skin I'm trickster again Bird of prey has moved in me Like a splinter
Despite myself I grow thinner Guarding my nest through The darkened winter, winter, winter But I'm shapeshifting
Creature of change It's me who unveins A-choking on tethers and weather, no Invading my veins Replacing my name 'Til I become you And I'm shapeshifting
