“This is how you fight back:
Take the salt from your tears
and amass a raging ocean from it.
Spindle your cries into its own axis
and unleash a sweeping hurricane.
Mourn, and mourn, and mourn,
for where we stand, gravity persists.
And those with the heaviest hearts
plant their feet into the earth the strongest.
You are a force of nature,
the salt of this earth,
and this earth bends for nobody.
So when they tell you to move,
what do you say?”
