Bold Song from Soma by Ahana

If I don’t do this
I’m gonna wreck this shot at shooting for the earth
If I don’t do this
My stars are gonna wonder what it all was worth
I’m unwinding
It’s getting faster and I’m trying
Not to fall behind me
There’s a history of looking and not finding
I wanna walk with the truth
Saunter the streets, unhaunted
That I didn't set out to do what I want
To blow me away
Not rue the day I decided what is and isn't possible
How far up my ass is my head
To decide it isn't possible?
Do you hear her singing?
Can you feel the life in her body, making somebody's
Eyes well
Heart well
(Don’t tell)
Oh well
My small contribution
This seed invitation
Planting bodies in moments
And moments in bodies
Oh, grandmother in the ground, you would say
Oh, to be twenty and have plenty of time to play
Playing is a power
I do not need staying power
I will die a death an hour
And I'll eat them like I flower
I don't have a lot to give right now
But one day
I’ll give to live
My living will be giving
My giving will be making
In making I'll be taking you up in my arms
The way I've been ushered into my own heart
By the mothers in the music
I've been mothered by the music
I will mother with this music
They say to make haste
Dangle their strain in front of my face
But for now I wait
In a world that tells me to stand up and take it
I take a stand and I wait
I’ll take the bait
I’ll wait
