time's dream

I wish i had a time machine
for simone de beauvoir, an intersexed cherokee, and me
We'd travel to each moment of your life
you felt unloved or unfree
Whenever you felt confused
belittled, used, or betrayed
Invalidated, isolated
Anytime you were afraid
We'd fly to you in those moments
through the misty hourglass sand
We'd seek you in your sadness
We'd look into your eyes, and...
Wrap you in hugs
Wrap you in healings
Wrap you in tickles
Wrap you in squealings
Wrap you in affirmations
Wrap you in sighs
Wrap you in heartbeats
Wrap you in cries
We'd hold you 'til you slept like a babe
To a dreamland so fearless and free
Then we'd tiptoe to the time machine
