swim

Woke up, chest heavy, retrograde is here

Full head, skinny body, write over your fears

Who would have thought you would be sober all year?

How many demons did you meet along the way?

How did you greet them and what did they say?

At least the salty watermelon's sweet today

She is the ocean

She is the ocean

I know that the healing never ends

But I thought I was better

Guess it comes and goes in waves like this

But I will swim forever

Trees grow on beaches but they cut them all

Before Mama Ocean makes their bodies fall

Now they make love where the roots stand tall

And then I cry with the ebbs and flow

And I don't why

Put a pen to my heart and a brush to my mind

So I don't fight

I am the ocean

I am the ocean

I know that the healing never ends

But I thought I was better

Guess it comes and goes in waves like this

But I will swim forever

Now I'm one with all the crawling bugs and spiders

Did you know my daughter has a breath of fire

Making the space for

All of her ancestors

Secret desires

The crows led me here or was it the rabbit?

It's time now to purge all that I have inherited

Clearing the space for

All of my ancestors

Future lives

I know that the healing never ends

But I thought I was better

Guess it comes and goes in waves like this

But I will swim forever
