Lumpy oatmeal makes me crazy!

Stepping Out

i don’t need your sugar
you just come on down and see
my hips twisting, teasing
red lipstick smiling
      cigarette sucking
at the Jimson Tree

i don’t need your honey
you just come on down and see
my booty shaking, strutting
green eyes snapping
      blowing smoke rings
at the Jimson Tree

i ain’t falling to my knees
you just come on down and see
my body bucking, bouncing
silver hoops shining
      satin cling twirling
at the Jimson Tree

i don’t need happy endings
it’s time to move on and let me be
no more fists flying, flailing
old bruises fading
      tired skin healing
i am now set free


dancing at the Jimson Tree

Excellent and powerful, dear Alison.

"i don’t need happy endings

This could apply to me but I know I have to wait for the right time.

Enjoyed your words, Alison.

Funny how someone writes something that mirrors our situations or thoughts, isn't it.  Fly free, darlin'.

Love,
