Last night was the graduation dance party, which was much needed. After being in my head so damn much, I was craving some loud music and an opportunity to MOVE MY BODY. So fun. I miss my speakers at home.
A friend shared this song with me the other day. I'm hooked:
Do you remember the late morning
when we went back to bed,
when we found the first position
and every muscle rested
I do remember that I already knew
it was the last time,
the last time for first positions
the last time you'll be mine
Aaaaoo aoo aoo ao
Aaaaoo aoo aoo ao
Do you remember the scars I showed you
the stories I told you
how I always said forever
when you aksed me to stay true
do you remember when we forgot
how to smile at each other
to believe that the other
wants only whats good for you
Do you remember the late morning
when we went back to bed,
when we found the first position
and every muscle rested
I do remember that I already knew
it was the last time,
the last time for first positions
the last time you'll be mine
And here's the poem I'm especially loving today, "Inside Out" by Diane Wakowski
I walk the purple carpet into your eye
carrying the silver butter server
but a truck rumbles by,
leaving its black tire prints on my foot
and old images the sound of banging screen doors on hot
afternoons and a fly buzzing over the Kool-Aid spilled on
the sink
flicker, as reflections on the metal surface.
Come in, you said,
inside your paintings, inside the blood factory, inside the
old songs that line your hands, inside
eyes that change like a snowflake every second,
inside spinach leaves holding that one piece of gravel,
inside the whiskers of a cat,
inside your old hat, and most of all inside your mouth where you
grind the pigments with your teeth, painting
with a broken bottle on the floor, and painting
with an ostrich feather on the moon that rolls out of my mouth.
You cannot let me walk inside you too long inside
the veins where my small feet touch
bottom.
You must reach inside and pull me
like a silver bullet
from your arm.
