She tried it
At least
The feeling deceased
You never want to see me again
On not much sleep
And too much sad
To pull me from the garbage can
I know I missed it
I am hardly here
I want to kiss it
And make it reappear
Linger like the last one gone
I knew you were there all along
I held my breath
Against my chest
You’re hanging like a charm
Strong and tall
I watched it all
Fall and float away
I’m made of fear, I’ll make it clear
Can’t live another day without you
What would I say
Desire
Wade another night

I think he understood the way that it was
But now my mother that was different
Not too often we’d walk to town together, not too often
I remember going to a movie
I was twelve years old
People really staring at us hard
I remember it was
The Imitation of Life, do you remember that movie?
People really staring at us hard
I remember it was
The Imitation of Life, I still think about that movie.
I don’t know if she knew what she was doing
I think I was a bit racist then
Because it started when I was twelve
I wanted to know about Black people
I wanted to read about them
I’d go to the library and say
“Why don’t you have any books here for Black people?”
“Malcolm X, why don’t you have Malcolm X?”
I wanted to know about Black people.
It started when I was twelve.
I’d go to the library and say

“Malcolm X, why don’t you have Malcolm X?”

Why don’t you have any books here for Black people?

I never had opportunities
Cut from the sky
Again I didn't ask why

a fluffy hand caresses your cheek
transparent escalator in the corner of your sight
In a glass room
in soft day-light
bubbles of jacuzzi
droplets on a skillet
A mirage of feathers
A mirage of pleasures
Waves of steam
Waves of gleam
Seeing thru a woven hat
Obscura forest and wind
grazing giraffe
Walk and reach
Elbows out
Head rest on hands
Hammock
Caught a sunfish
A half shaded moon
Eclipsed with a wink
Drawing a line
Perpendicular to the horizon
Unzipping
The jacket
Oranges fall
Alley oops in repetition
3 points of a triangle
a sofa on each corner
Waft of jasmine
Stepping on
Neatly soaked towels
A fountain with iridescent liquids
quill dips in
Sincerely
Your signature

Porque Lloras Blanca Niña
¿Porque llorax blanca niña, porque llorax blanca flor? lloro por vos caballero
que vos vas y me dejas.
Me dejax niña y muchacha chica y de poca edad. tengo niños chiquiticos lloran y demandan pan.
Si demandan a su padre, que repuesta les vo a dar? metió la mano en el pecho, sien dovlones le fue a dar.
Esto para que m'abasta, para vino o para pan?
si esto no vos abasta, ya tienes d'onde tomar:
Venderex viñas y campos, media patre de la sivdad. venderes viñas y campos de la patre de la mar.
Vos asperares a los siete, si no, a los ocho vos cazax
[English Translation]
Why do you cry, innocent girl?
Why do you cry, innocent flower?
I weep for you, sir
You've going away, and leaving me behind.
You leave me [behind as] a child and maiden
A girl and of young age
I have little children,
They weep and demand for bread
If they ask for their father,
What answer should I give them?
[He] put a hand in his breast [pocket]
[And] gave them one hundred doubloons
Is this enough for
Wine or for bread?
If this is not enough,
You have somewhere else to take more:
You'll sell vineyards and fields
Half of the city
You'll sell vineyards and fields
And half of the sea
You'll wait for us for seven [years/months]
If not, at eight you marry

At night I look on my iPhone
I look at boys at men I don't know
I've met a few who you might have known
I've walked late at night looking for them
You say that I'm vivacious
You say that I'm gorgeous
But you still maintain that
I'll only be a part of your rotation
Rotation
I'll never be OK with you having a penis
I'll never be OK with you and that whole front part of your body
I'll never be OK with you having a penis
I'll never be OK with you having a penis
To that I really just have a few things to say
What part of fucking me in the ass didn't make you gay
What am I supposed to do?
How can I ever please you?
What am I supposed to do?
You've got some issues dude
What am I supposed to do?
I guess that we are through
What am I supposed to do?
I guess that we are through
Love me
Love the front of me
If you love me
You love what's between my legs

Really wishing everything's fine
I can't believe this life
Always feeling so overwhelmed and wasting so much time
Ever
Always
Nowhere
Again

Julius Smack - Will I Be
04:24
|
|||
It's got to be in you
Will I be?
He saw God when he died
I'll be the one who wants to see the light
And I'll be the one who wants to wait at the door
I'll wait at the door
Be the one who wants to lead with an open mind
He saw God and he saw light and
I'll lead with an open mind
It's got to be in you
Will I be?
Be the one who wants to see the light and
I know how that goes for me
Who used the bottle?
I used to bottle
I want to be discarded like you
I'll be the one who wants to see the light

Oh dear avoider
Take pause and breath
Find where confusion
Give it kiss
Put it into the earth
Give it up to her
Give it up to her
Teach me your language
Erase mine from inside
Unwinding on my bones is the angel still
She is stoked for the kill
Of the code for the kill of the code for the kill
I'm this body here
Also not this body here
Even as you're leaving
You're always coming
Lookin back only once to see
That which stolen from me
The hand that you grab
Pulls the flesh at the seam
The angel inside she was me
Yes she was me
And I can see even he ugh
I'm this body here
Also not this body here
Even as you're leaving
You're always coming
Comin comin comin comin

Anna Luisa - She Sees
04:02
|

She can see with her eye
She can see with her mind
And with her body
She can see
It's a gift
She sees
And as she walks down a familiar road
The cloud of self doubt passes over her
Questioning every cell, every impulse
She feels (I feel)
She sees (I see)
Is this truly what I see?
Is this truly what I see?
Is this me?
Who am I?
Who am I supposed to be?
Who am I supposed to see?
When I wake
When I dream I
She can see
She can see

Presto
Change
Concentrate on the bulb
Light
Animal
Wake up
Sit still
Rousing
Thunder
Anchor
Say the word

I would rather watch my life
My life from a distance
You were never on my mind
Til I tried to resist it
I would rather spend my time
My time in a garden
Picking every cherry that I see
And tying the stems with memories
You'll never be the one
Who I try to build a life with
You'll never be the one
Who I try to share my life with
Who I try to twist the knife in
I would rather spend my time
My time in a garden
Picking every cherry that I see
And tying the stems with memories
I just wanna feel the feelings
The feelings are fleeting
You'll never be the one
Who I try to build a life with
You'll never be the one
Who I try to share my life with
Who I try to twist the knife in
