I've been fed air that is breathtaking
And collapsed on an embarrassing amount of love.
(The coldest winter is starting to get to me.
I'm sorry, I need change.)
This is the underbelly, the earth,
and she's still screaming her song.
She still screams.
You keep your streets cluttered filthy,
aged, widowed, ugly.
I'm turning all sorts of new pages now.
Understanding this place and the comforts of land walked so well.
I've set aside the city stink and sweat drips gone cold.
And all the men I'll never be.
I'm watching moon skies and how true it feels.
What a beautiful kind of blue.
