My Father's daughter My mom's mom Careful words Don't die  Don't die Aren't you glad I was Here so you didn't do it again? Be careful what you say Because they'll take you away Put you away Oh child  be careful what you say I'm weary of calculation I never was much good at the Maths Always too slow The world is too fast  For my pace Always out paced Shifting through time when I was four... How do you protect whats yours? In truth To speak in silence To move in space  To see through time Don't get lost now Come back Come back How ridiculous does it have to get? Before we come face to face Moody melodrama Mysterious nonsense Transparent capes Dancing lights No time was wasted Anger dances Rein it in Rain it down Come down Come down You are worthy Because you are here You are needed Valuable as diamonds Precious as dirt Blah blah blah fucking blah Dealing with shit Quite literally teaching the ways of the toilet. All eyes on deck. Can I learn to stay he...

Smells Like Me Hammering in my head On the walls Heads to walls And fucking falls Isn't it beautiful? The Running The laughing Giggling children... Beautiful My love is always complicated Furry snout Howling Out for blood Tear it apart Sniff at the pieces Smells like me To love all pieces The mean The Shameful Sometimes a leaving  Is a loving Living is loving Don't die Or if you must Make it a good death It blew in on the wind I'll let it go on the Ashes Grow grow grow Just Go go go Just let go My sisters hear my howl They too run  Fierce feet Calloused souls Burn, burn it down Just a making Unmaking Unraveling Held tight in strong arms He knows me He sees me And still holds tight He fixed some things he didn't break Together we mend the pieces Running with my little wolf Howl Run in shadow Finding words Circle Circle Circle will Hold Dirty dove Dive dive Grey Feathers flying Perfect Just so   Sisters Corn sister  reaches for the sun With purpose A scafolding, sturdy...

A mending A keeping someone who is sleeping A night for the keeping A night for compassion Company in kitchens Family talking in doorways The torches were not to burn Just a light  In the dark You are there You are here To feel in illusion To speak with certainty like a gentlemen of another era I'll pull the threads of that collar tight too tight choking Too much  Too much Or not enough balance child balance we thought you knew you played the game so well Please take off the mask dare to be just here just now please come here Where are you now? I see your face in the blue light and fake faces too much too much I was wrong I am sorry but sorry isn't enough never is My patient guides still guiding A touch on the cheek The angry teachers In kinship keep sometimes taught the best the hate honed edge A tool A gift Hate isn't the opposite  It's blood It's us It's love When the world's upside down we fight just to feel each other's skin Music in my ears tires o...

To fall in love with life Over and again To kiss the sweet lips of your demons with passion Ruby lips  Hair in braids and knots Teenage tunes Swinging Singing Pining for the moon Put the pride to bed Smile as it please me Words of praise Words to play Where it comes from Where it goes Sadness  Silence Madness laughing To be mad is amusing Talking to tiles laying on the floor Bathtubs are for crying The showerhead knows But he's not telling Secret fountain of wisdom Nothing is wasted Even the wastelands The inane bullshit of the crossing   a cowardly fool  an attendant lord No Prince Hamlet, indeed A girl played at watery reveries but no Ophelia am I I am in parts scattered across time here and there I am Emily I am okay I am sitting on a porch sly fox card in hand The other players unseen Flowers and boats Lost in the revelry Broken into pieces There I was Here I am A mother talking to myself in my kitchen with 20 kinds of tea  less cosmic mystery, perhaps...
