Remember when you use to watch
Just the way I would marinate
Cook chicken, my special way
Standing behind me, your paws
Really--I guess, claws
Blue like the bluest pools I swam into
Peeling my hair about
Sea creature, let me be.

Once I hit my face on the side of the pool
Papa bet me $5 I could swim without coming up for air
To the other side, green pus bruises
Lasted for weeks
As scabs retreated, reminding me
Of learning things the hard way.

I cooked chicken tonight
Fresh, feta cheese
Crack the pepper all of me
But I don't use salt

Sodium?
Avoid sodium.

1:47am a text of your longing
Lusting, power
Remember how my home was your home?

Not me.
I do, but its like a faint dream
Pounding blood in my chest
No longer aching for
Swindling disappointment, nah uh
Not for me, I cook chicken solo.

Early morning, up with a start
New date to leave, move in
Start anew, while faces around me
Kisses, I see lipsticked kisses
Covering me,
Bursting out of the cage.

Make some money quick, quick
As I hear a clicking and buzzing sound
Sell everything, its got to go
4 bags and a tiny blonde moon beam.

Momentum, positive love
Soaking up and like tree branches
Details of nature's artistic growth

Bursting through me
Like September 28, 1990.
