do what my father did
my hands my back
im not nobility

the strawberries were small there
one day you had a leaf
and another you gave me a present
of a rock
when my brother wasnt looking

my mother is never looking
and my father doesnt have to
i am a virgin



where are my flowers
down on my knees
like a worm in the rain
down on my knees
like 50 women
i never killed a man

and my foot planted on the ground
unlike a flower with its roots

and my body carved upon

my god forgive you of your sins
because i cannot cannot
ok i spat in the river
that because it is running fast
i must stay.
my darling do not judge me
because i like to dance with my own dead body
at me
and my names
my pleasure and my pain
God's eyes
and mine are the same
perfect th ings
no more silver.


cup that holds no water



i fill my room with gold

they kill me

slaughter
cup and stick
breast and dick
tools of magic man
tools of common man
tools of mama too
ah, genie
give me one
for I have
sinn
all
oh over me calico mountain
cherry trees on it
and the light goes out
I begin to speak
an old bible that's better
an old bell that's better
rings like it's rung before
gown that i've worn before
hole in the ground
before
deep in my own dream
wringing my water hands
in a strange gown
Valley low enough
Of the dolls
Duck in a wet field,
Taking care of itself

Whole hill by the seashore
Frogs by the sea shore
Jump in the sea shore
You are good.
We are brave, always.

The teacher was reading.
The reaper was reaping.

Hail the dark clouds, son
For they bring rain.
Rote a wheel
Every day i went to the market
Found a flower
And gave it to you

Every day i went to the market
And bought a new dress
Bought a new shoe
Listened to you
Kept myself clean
Began to sing
Did everything wrong

What song
And the fire!
There she blows

Overboard!
The Rose.
big boys there
all over the hill
with all different flowers
all different flowers
my big bag with feathers
my white gown
I wear every day
me, ready. 
sing a song over and over
will i have power, someday?

think a thought over and over
lord, will i be free?
deny and deny
for so long
and then open and purge
for stale bread
bright star
scary lou
little wee
little mee, too
older
and better too

to ask again and again
and then to find
dry flat frogs
what holy confetti
ah ocean water
brown with dirt
what holy champagne
because of how I held my purse
they had to turn away
the king ordered

the statue smelled of piss

all is right in cloudy sky
i cannot feel the rain
like it was
bombed
and bombed
my town
until the rat
and the cockroach
only
and all my belongings
after taking it
ah I kneel

after knowing it
ah i kneel

with knees wet with mud
with hands wet with water

help me help me
father father
i learn to worship properly
on each altar
on your altar on her altar
on altar of the virgin on the
altar of the rose
on a craft haha
on a ship
haha three sheets
and all my treasure
on the water in the wind

follow me albatross
lead me sweet masthead
strike me sweet lightning
sweet poseidon
spare me no
more
sweet stork singing
bring me a present
sweet protien

he behaves
shows me he can
he's a man
bad boy
run slow
smell that
and that
look there
hate me hate me
i don´t want your love
big pink rosebush i stumbled on

smelled so good i had to stop
anymore
candy in the wind and
every day after that
i was only your friend
to the rat that ate
with its tung like a cat
liek a fish in the dark
the forest like a fish so well behaved
all over like a fish
all over the river
and through the woods
ah sweet spawning salmon
good forest
has horses
and roses too
why a forest filled with flowers
why trees like these
and only horses
symbols of centaurs


only forest filled
i put things all around it and
kept it very dry
spent time in there

when winter came i make a fire
and when summer came my eyes
would rest
haha
fire in a place
i try to keep dry always

special place maybe made of stone
little walking cane
and little able
kiss my ass
and clean the stable
ride the horse
and ride it good
just like your mamma said
you should 
little hovel of my own
bring your shovel 
to my hovel 
we'll find some dirt
and get it out 
th damn dam door

big hot river this time
a different place this time 
big mountains too
hot lava too 
maybe a nice bird
maybe a mean one 
maybe some dinner 
of honey and bun
lemon drops and
ripe fruits
in my cold little bowl
-my mamma made me-
damn dark man
and funny too
just stood there
while the fire grew
just made sure nobody
moved
till all the timbers fell.

and once they all fell down
you see, he didn't dance
like you or me
what a little frindel-key
damn tall devil 
that the fire made 
danced for me 
and made me brave

finally a desert here
where the air is sweet and clear
not too bright and not too hot
not a lot
horsey asks me why I say
the sun is going down today
friendly tumble weed bounce by
my my
does it smell good
lets build a fire and
heat up some food
we'll talk and chum and sing all night
my this desert treats us right

laying once
laying twice
laying little eggs is nice
once I laid a big egg though
no no no no no no no!
give me water
give me bread
but do not give me
piece of lead
call my name
and pat me nice
give me rice
after all of that is through
i will lay an egg for you 
O Cane 
Lil Sugar 
Life Tasted So Sweet 
I Smelt It 
I Smelt It 
Big River 
Run Deep 
So Rapid 
Big Rapid 
Big Hiding Waterfall 
Cold Cascade 
Warm Sunshine 
It's Fall 
It's Fall
