for valentina

value your musical name your fashion sense

your strength

your light and dark your uncanny ability to appear

resurrected from the dead

believe him when he tells you you are beautiful

it will only hurt you both not to

(it is true besides)

dress as hard-core as you fancy or as sexy

wear black while your skin has enough light

not to absorb it

show off your belly and your breasts

as much as possible

someday when you have wrinkles

you may want to wear the clothes you sneer at now

spit swear dance fuck just don’t smoke cigarettes

and do wear sunscreen

(i wish i had listened to opinionated old women)

don’t be afraid to age

you will be more self-assured thus just

as fabulous as now

(except that then you will know it)

hold on to kind men don’t let them go

searching for the ones who will prove to

you the untrue things

you believe about yourself

choose to believe the ones who see

what you may not

choose to believe in your own myth

your own glamour

your own spell

a young woman who does this

(even if she is just pretending)

has everything
