carve my back, I’m settled stacks
I’m only now a wish well, wise
hold my hand, hold my eyes
fold out where honesty falls quiet
but I’m a body
holding all of it I can love you
and I know I’ve been so cold-limbed
so have my warmth, my motion, all of it

mend my tongue, my shyest part
with time you feed it well
all my shadow, all my dark will settle
and I am yours to brave
tend me what way you like
tend me what way you like

this is the blush you gave me
it tarries yet, sweet rosy sway
says I am made of pulses
I won’t hide my face from you
you play your edge, your lip line
I’ll pray my freedoms come
oh, child
hey, my blood hauls me
for a while I am not a little
wide eyed doe
I’m a woman and you’re mine
to calm, to be kind to
hey, my blood hauls me
your eyes, two slots of death
but how they shine!
till I’m free to love you
from my nothing
my chance of day has found me in your arms

where is my kindness
my sleep showed me all of my pain
and you
your form that invites it
I am a proper animal
with you

song as a way to sit with, move
through, & heal from experience.
softness & dissonance. reflection & dynamic stillness.
the tension of opposites & the alchemy of internal work.
