a'driane nieves, in this moment of transformation, i barely recognize the woman i have become/i used to bow to your authority, but now i move on my own/fury overturns my heart yet i wield it with a precision sharpened by the intuition i was told never to trust/no longer a maiden and never just a mother, i’ve now grown beyond the borders established for me/your critique is no longer my canon/like a river after the rain, i swell into my fullest stature and release/unleash/break/become whole, 2025
