By Sha Huang
PROMPT — Who am I today?
In charge of my inner room
In charge of no others
Exchange our colors
your purple, my blue
Recharge myself with more colors
Today black, tomorrow gold
Recharge with little
new hobbies new people, new connections
New wounds
Reinvent me
reshape
Reincarnate out of my skin
Shed layers of skins
Shed memory
Swim in new water
Keep swimming
Keep swallowing, absorbing
Keep leaving myself behind
