I gave life to my
babes to be part of this world.
Not to keep them from it.
I saw five crows in
the street today. It looked like
they were talking shop.
You know, I don't believe
you, but I do think you're
telling the truth.
Our children know that
our spirits are all connected.
How do we forget?
There's not a day that
goes by I don't feel trapped by
that enormous sky.
The moon was a
crescent, but you could see the outline
of the other half.
All I want to do,
my lover, is grow super
stinkin' old with you.
It's too cold for the
crows, too cold for the pigeons,
but the squirrels don't mind.
There are some walks that
need no road and there are some
walks you take alone.
My husband said once
that he envied me carrying
our babes in my womb.
If you don't like love
and light in your life then you
won't like me, my friend.
I saw the crows and
they were very quiet. They
were looking for worms.
There was a song in
the air, but somehow my proud
heart didn't hear it.
Sylvia, dear, I'd
rather break that fuckin' bell
jar than live in it.
At winter I miss
the sun. The sun rising. The
sun setting. The sun.
They were right to say,
"It don't matter where you've been.
Only where you're goin'."
Sometimes it only
takes a quick conversation
to make your heart glow.
We all share the same
heart. When you break another's
it's your own that hurts.
"Aaak aah aak. Ga ga
gooooo MAAH." I love your stories,
my babe. Tell me more.
It's not really freedom
when you're telling someone
how to live their life.
