Dearest Queen Laveau,

My heart has been a tumultuous sea that spans as wide as my world of perception. I don’t come seeking advice, as I know I must risk the stinging nettles of my own broken path. However, I am afraid.

I am your daughter, generations lost and displaced in a society cacophonous with confusion. My bones have become tangled by the violent oscillations of this world, and my spirit cries everyday in pain that can only be explained by true universality. A mere synapse of existence, the messages relayed through me bring me utmost joy and despair. I feel an urgency, a prophecy that must blossom from the vines within me, even if it is my last action within this strange flesh that has been given to me.

But beautiful mother, you know all this already…

…this is my warning to you.
