Is a Woman

2002

Maybe you can get a whiff
It's enough to make you gag
It's enough to make you sick

Each and every day
With the concrete and the masonry
When

the cracks in the masonry
That the operation is turn-key
Warming me up before you burn me
"Fire!" I'll shout in this crowded theater
Nothin' here is up to code

like my body just keep dragging me
Mirrors make catastrophes
Soul was made with masonry
My skin look like a tapestry
I know
I reap what I sow
I seen more

Keep my eyes open when you bury me
And let me look at the world one last time
Write my name shallow in the masonry
And let it fade, let's not waste

I pat the masonry as if to say 'well done'
You kept us dry at least
But as the locks are changed
And as the bulbs unscrew
We may still find time for

Not too long ago
A veil unwilling to part
wrapped around my heart 
decided to stay
Chasing promises
A dirty river running dry
Poisoned by the night
