INTO THE WILD.
Honoring the fullness of my woman today.( Well, yesterday- and every day! )
I am not a well-behaved woman
You will find me dancing along the edges of discomfort
Rebellion coursing through my veins
Truth dripping from my tongue
I was never made for coloring inside the lines
Or blindly acquiescing to the institution
The remembrance of the wild pulsates in my heart
I breathe in pleasure
And exhale life
The very portal through which all life begins
No wonder they diagnosed hysteria
in an effort to keep us tame
Oh yes, she is immense
And she resides in all of us
Let us bleed
We'll paint the sky crimson
And lead you all home
