May 2015
Empty apartment
Nothing but the floor and a feeling
In the bones
I go at this alone.

A painting with such significance
Weeping into a lovers arms
How could I leave my army of women
But I don't leave anyone behind
I don't leave the love
I set and make fires
For everyone to dance in.

Words spoken full of meaning
Influence, changing, openness
I am finally being exactly who I want to be.

"I want to just travel for work and trust that love will find me along the way."
My mother and father would say,
"You better hope you marry a rich husband someday."
"I'm gonna be the rich one!"
I would retort in a shrill giddy voice

Coins, gold, medallions, fur
Dripping and oozing like an octopus
Caught in a storm of seaweed
I'll be so wealthy
With my army of loves
My army and daggers full
Of nothing but artistry and change.

Flapping hands to indicate
Time, time flew so fast
As odd phrases and moments
I wanna take a vintage camera frame
Around like a lollipop
A ****** would have licked dry.

Sage the place
Sage the body, luggage
The place again
Take down the remembrance
This is just the beginning.
