This Illusion of Flesh

There is no seal-skin to find,
no moon-drawn transformation.
No muttered spell or clay pot reeking
	of rendered fat and henbane.
	
Change
is the glint in my eye,
the blurred outline of my shadow.

Come argue with me
over what is “real.”
I tell you I have no need
to ache,
to stare at the horizon
and wish for Other.
All the others are here:

Wolfness in my mouth.
Shoulders split by wings.
Feet sunk into the planet’s bones
and time running in circles,
as it always has,
as it should.

With the moon,
	the tide,
	the season,
	the will—
inside this skin
I create and destroy.

Rise up from your own sea.
I will not name you.
Make your own worlds.
