1.
spirit intuition, like feather on arrow, spirit weapon may help flight to truth / don't overload, you'll do that when you begin to decay
2.
heavy decades they gave to you and you took them unknowing, what's a child suppose to do? planted seed will keep growing / mistakes add up even in her mind, sorrow follows you there, trying not to give up her pride, answers falling down the stairs/ what's a child suppose to do? she hid her tears with her laughter, year after year she kept pushing through, mother's nature disaster
3.
she set me up good dressed me up and everything she sed i like your long hair i like your victim mentality your uncle's cousin's boyfriend's brother put you in a trance on a backseat, on a roofie, on a pullout, on a liptrick. when they touched their fingers to the gun, it made the sun set softly soon i'm gonna change and you won't wanna fuck with me pictures of the hole are the holes in our memories with holes cut out for the holes in the story put it in the mailbox, take it to the rec center put it in my hands and i will show you what i'm made of plastic & plastic & plastic & blood

EL MENU 01:20
niña tengo un menu para ti todos los sabores que puedes pedir te lo doy suavecito o te lo doy duro dejarte satisfecha es lo que juro/ en la cama o en la playa a la orilla del mar donde sea que lo quieras yo te lo voy a dar
5.
DUANNA 03:16
Our own shadows disappear as the feet of thousands by the tens of thousands pound the fallow land into new dust that rising like a marvelous pollen will be fertile even as the first woman whispering imagination to the trees around her made for righteous fruit from such deliberate defense of life as no other still will claim inferior to any other safety in the world (poem by June Jordan) you stood at the alter, we stood at the alter inside you, you/we eat with our fingers, we/you eat with the promises provided all the walls are caving in, ground rise up and pull us in and it looks like snow but when ashes land, they burn a hole. walk down aisles with the men you run with, still don't know who shot Duanna Johnson, run ten miles with the men you hunt with, who was her lover and what did they promise? good you can see him in the hospital but how many die with a cop as their witness? promise, witness.
6.
i ate you, you walk away / endless winter, empty spring / through darkness - - - into the raw
