I felt like a giant Holding fireworks in his fists Fuses burning between my knuckles I could silence the bang if I wanted to Inside your chest are bibles Full of psalms about hunger And love And letting go Psalms about selfless I want to kiss you like a prayer **** you like a prayer I am small And I feel the ground breathe beneath my feet It is dark I am a marble with a green cat eye center Still hot and smooth The glass blower that made me had asthma I don’t roll like the rest of them This dent in my chest But you decide it is a good place to rest your head You feel like the ocean When I am sleeping on a raft I made from fallen trees and rope A steady rock just past the wave break So calm I’m sure I could sail safely As far as I wanted I feel like I don’t exist Like I am unicorn horn glitter After the slaying The men who have ground me down Use me to sell toys to kids Because glitter makes everything magic I am magic Clumsy magic Like a giant learning sleight of hand Fireworks in his fists I could stop the bang if I wanted to I don’t want to I am hot glowing color Falling from the palms of a giant Whose hands are clouds Someone has just prevented a car accident Saved someone’s life There are fireworks A celebration I am rubber kneecaps For people who collapse I bounce them back People who don’t pray anymore They just keep walking I feel like a slave song The simple message When you sing these words I can do anything I feel like a giant And I want to kiss you like a prayer That stops someone from dying

Hey, Woman, This is How You Make Me Feel
I felt like a giant Holding fireworks in his fists Fuses burning between my knuckles I could silence the bang if I wanted to Inside your chest are bibles Full of psalms about hunger And love And letting go Psalms about selfless I want to kiss you like a prayer **** you like a prayer I am small And I feel the ground breathe beneath my feet It is dark I am a marble with a green cat eye center Still hot and smooth The glass blower that made me had asthma I don’t roll like the rest of them This dent in my chest But you decide it is a good place to rest your head You feel like the ocean When I am sleeping on a raft I made from fallen trees and rope A steady rock just past the wave break So calm I’m sure I could sail safely As far as I wanted I feel like I don’t exist Like I am unicorn horn glitter After the slaying The men who have ground me down Use me to sell toys to kids Because glitter makes everything magic I am magic Clumsy magic Like a giant learning sleight of hand Fireworks in his fists I could stop the bang if I wanted to I don’t want to I am hot glowing color Falling from the palms of a giant Whose hands are clouds Someone has just prevented a car accident Saved someone’s life There are fireworks A celebration I am rubber kneecaps For people who collapse I bounce them back People who don’t pray anymore They just keep walking I feel like a slave song The simple message When you sing these words I can do anything I feel like a giant And I want to kiss you like a prayer That stops someone from dying
