it's bad
it's really really bad
opression is the new fruit loops
make no mistake
be strong, follow love
and come and sit on my porch

standing toe to toe
with the oppressor
i am a rock
impenetratable stone
with a heart that dances wildly
against a hot summer sky
take that, officer burke

i miss the weight of your arm
across my body
as i listen to you breathe in my ear
while i pretend to be asleep

i miss your smile
but mostly your laugh
ok mostly your body
i miss the way you pull me in to you

i am gone in your touch
come home soon

birth is a swift thing


living takes longer



fear is always the truth

that stares us down



we were not afraid to be born

we should not be afraid to fly

in the simmering madness

we hold hands and quiver
worried about stories
ego dances across the room
and i get pushed into a corner

i will not expire
with the solitude of grace
sorry
make me grab this world by its gonads
and shake it out if its misery

i know it hurts
breathe deeply
and take the pain
breathe
breathe
and show your face

i'm the craziest chick i've ever known
and that's on a good day
what if your dad named you wendy
the keeper of the lost fucking boys
how do you think you might turn out?

earth needs sky
i need you
so where is the divide?
there isn't one
that is the answer
