a m a n d a
[it will make things easier]


i think i know my problem -
   i don't give up
and that desire for loyalty
   is what kills me
my defense of my tribe
   wears me down
i don't give up
when i should give up
on who i should...
i can't give up.
*i must give up.

a m a n d a
confused by the specimens
of my life
the cross-sections
on display
lined up neatly
for me to mull over
in the dark.

i never saw
the stars in your eyes
but i did see the earth -
vast, and blue and green.

[warriors by your side]


it's best
   to figure out quickly
that there is no path
to be revealed in a glorious light.

there are only weapons
   used to hack your way
through the woods
in the dark.

the sound of a trumpet
   means more
when you've put one
        to your lips
  felt the cool metal
blown through teeth
and lips
  the air
       full of life

a m a n d a
boy
walking
   eyes on me
   eyes on me
what about her?
(i mean she's attractive)
        but she's not  l i k e...
the sound trails
  blood drains
(laughter)
what am i not, boy?
   i can guess
but i will not
                 not
                 not

a m a n d a
(this is how i know)


alone
my time
to let it flow
words always
h o v e r i n g
phrases emerging
wanting attention
wanting the ink
the graphite
the 000111
eyes
eyes
eyes
and
brains
brains
brains
not sure how
it gets in me
but aware of its escape
and i could sit here
for the rest of my life
in this breeze
in these greens
*in this flow.

a m a n d a
secret sinful
glittering pain
yes, i am real.
yes, i really did that.
i
the me that is not me
the i that is more me
than anyone else.
there is no strength in wavering.
the power is in me,
and i am the fury.
