freewrite exercise: bodies of light

i never finished this poem. it was was for a 5 min freewrite and not polished, but here goes:

we are all bodies of water, she told me.
weighed down, heavy, water weights
we carry our burdens in our hearts and let them sink low
into our deep black pools.

we are all bodies of water,
grounded, gravity
sinking, constantly sinking like the bodies thrown aboard
we carry them too- the ocean, the bodies, we carry all of this weight
heavy, oppressive,
in our skin, our pores.

water doesn't allow for much motion
bodies thrashed around with the tide.
i do not have control over my body anymore
heavy weight, grounded, stuck.

but did you know that once the people took flight?
their bodies were not weighed down with water
but instead were black bodies of light.
angelic, floating crowns of kinks
they did not need wings, they would only look up to the sky
look up at the sun, smile and take flight.
