"My Mother & I" Lyrics:
My mother
hates her body.
We share the same outline.
She swears that she loves mine.
I blur
at the edges.
I'm all soft shapes and lines,
shapeshifting all the time.
The stars have a lot to say
about babies born
in the month of May.
We are down to earth.
We see eye to eye.
We dig our feet in,
my mother and I.
My mother and I
They called
me an old soul
when I was too young to know
the difference between a soul and a ghost.
I feared
what was inside,
trapped in my body, kept from the other side.
A spirit searching for a second life.
The stars have a lot to say
about women born
in the month of May.
We want love,
warm and forever.
We want to die
in the presence of our loved ones.
My mother and I.
My mother and I.
All, she has given.
All, I have taken.
All is forgiven.
All is forsaken.
