about

Today is my day
I give my brain a hand and I put my thoughts far away
Today I'll open a new bag of
Human skin and scales to wear
I'll be a woman
By the end of the year

I knit with these two hands
A little cloud which I can hide behind
To draw my plans
And I'll read out loud a list of human
Blames and shames to share
I'll be a woman
A most delightful snare

I've been watching my hair grow
Over fences, into rooms
Where fishbones said hello
A clock struck twelve chromatic strings all tuning
Together through my head
Shadows were looming
Under the iron bed

But today is my day
I give my brain a hand and I put my thoughts far away
Today I'll open a new bag of human
Skin and scales to wear
I'll be a woman
By the end of the year

I will not look back or down
While climbing this street
Good morning my new town
Good morning my new feet
