Your significance fancy danced across my brow
Searing logic crawling over broken glass
Inclined to your bleeding tongue
Sprawling lines pierced my cinnamon skin
Emotions were orally accessible and driven
You promised life like hundred dollar bills
Licking every power dry
Our summer was thick with cicadas
Going places where tourists never ventured
Leading the women in me into a hypnotic sauna
I was lost for prayer, led by your metaphoric culture
I would have signed any treaty, any passport
Against capture and it’s inevitable change
My face smiled portraits in the sky
Collecting antique swinging arms
History changed shape, opening myth
And always your stories, waiting outside my door
Was there any reason why we were inside the same fence?
With the shaman
Finally I finished my classroom assignment
I am lucky, writing from you, the first text of my soul
