| so we got a pet, a little kitty
but now I am starting to think how strange a pet is
maybe because she is young and wild-
she is wild-
but I think about how strange it is to keep a wild thing indoors
we kill her desire to kill
and laugh at her little antics
we say "look how sweet our little wild thing is"
and we think just because we love her that we deserve to do all this
sometimes I feel like a wild thing indoors |
| |
| so it changed
with an unforeseen will
not steady
blowing without root
so strong like a crane you were
to pick up a flower
in your beak
but beauty has never been enough to sustain
and it was to be dropped
and lost
out of decay comes growth
a simple seed taking root in the ground
out of the rock comes life
the flower lives again. |
| |
| smoking cigarettes into the night.
trying to sleep, and yet not to dream.
|
| |
| betraying myself
setteling
giving in
giving away
take my body
when it is all I have
because everything cost something
and there is no trust here
no trust here
|
| |
| you're like the sneeze that passes you nose
and goes into your eye and makes you cry
you make me want to say achoo
|
