Universe

(album: One Wild Life: Body - 2016)

I live within endless ocean
Tidal waves of blood coursing through my veins
A galaxy of life in me
My mind is a universe

In constellations of neurons like nova
Erupting in color
Speech and adrenaline
In sex and in texture and sound

I am the eye, I am the sight
I am in death, I am in life

Don't limit me
To category
I refuse to live in your cerebral cage
There's worlds within
That contradict
My heart is a universe

I'm more than a party
Or orientation
I'm more than a class or a half Puerto Rican
I'm more than a number to count

I am the eye, I am the sight
I am in death, I am in life

I am the eye, I am the sight
I am in death, I am in life

I am the eye, I am the sight
I am in death, I am in life
