HATS, where do you belong?
  what is under you?
  
On the rim of a skyscraper's forehead
I looked down and saw: hats: fifty thousand hats:
Swarming with a noise of bees and sheep, cattle and waterfalls,
Stopping with a silence of sea grass, a silence of prairie corn.
  Hats: tell me your high hopes.
Constantly questioning my character, disguising it with laughter
Like its some kind of joke as you create this wild anecdote
Of all the things you are projecting
and it's finally connecting.
You hate yourself so you attack me.
Now tell me is that any way to be?

Lies upon lies while you shrink in spiritual size.
I don't even have to try, you build your own demise.

Billy Nye, ask why
You're the one, don't deny
Ode to my son
You fly
You blind
You poison
You ****
You are just dust in the wind
step one,
come to bed.
two,
tuck me in
three,
crawl in next to me
four,
we kiss
five,
sleep.
blissful sleep.
six,
i wake up in sadness. i cling to you.
you stay. and hold me. and promise to never leave.
seven,
it's morning.
you're still here.
eight,
you're here. you're still here. you'll never leave. you'll always be here.
Sitting
Cuddling
Our arms intertwined.
I can feel your cheek against mine
and it's the softest thing my skin has ever felt.
Our closeness brings the thought of a kiss
but I wish not to ruin the moment.
Instead, I simply pull you closer,
and to me,
this is better than any kiss could be.
us
the smell of you
the warmth of your skin
these feelings within..

it builds.
the happiness,
the love...
it leaves me smiling
as laughter bubbles from the heart

your warmth,
your touch,
it all leaves me wanting..
wanting more...
more of you,
more of us,
more of this time together
F for the fistfights I was asked to sit out of, because I was born with a different set of genitals
E for the equal rights I've been begging for, only to be let down time and over again
M for all the military applications that weren't even reviewed, because I seemed unfit for not having a pair of nuts
I for the inferno that you made me feel, fighting so hard to be a pilot that was obviously only ' a man's job '
N for the number of convictions the guy who ***** his girlfriend didn't have to face, because the way she dressed up showed that she "wanted"it
I for all the immoral stares that I couldn't counter back for the fear of your lawyers defending you saying it was a friendly one, for the fear of you blaming the shorts and crop top that I picked out for that lovely Sunday
S for all the standards that women themselves set for themselves, ***** standards; I'll do what I want and say what I want, I'll eat what and I want and dress the way that I feel like I need to, I'll wear bikinis that probably doesn't flatter my body and height but you know what? I don't give two flying f**ks
M for the mortals   that made it necessary for feminism to even exist
Hey, one kick to your nuts and you'd never see daylight again

sit down.
summer night sweats
and whispers in the hay lofts
forgot our purpose
Day 18 of NaPoWriMo.

Country childhood and forgotten dreams.
