(Emily Dickinson)

"Hope" is the thing with feathers -
that perches in the soul -
and sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.

 

Calliope  Oct 3rd 2018 Jenelle Aubade


Hope's a bird
flying through a sky of words
with no anchor on
everyone is watching her

is she more than this
what will she become
need her to be true
to the things I've done

but I am waiting on a tall pale moon
who'll pull my tail n lick my wounds

we will color in the Silhouette
call the actors in
who'll cover our bets

Don't leave a good woman in disguise
She's a boxer and a dancer
ain't no answer, but

Dove, not the feather
Break of Dawn, not the weather
salt, not the wound,
the pull, not the moon , of

Gravity, Calliope, Gravity, Calliope, Gravity, Calliope
the reason we're all standing in this room, why we're all standing


Hope's a bird
flying through a sea of words
no anchor on
everyone is watching her

is she more than this
what will she become
need her to be true
to these things I've done

but I am waiting on a tall pale moon
who'll pull my tail n heal my wounds

color in all our Silhouettes
call in the actors to cover our bets

Don't leave a good woman in disguise
she is a boxer and a dancer
there ain't no answer, but

(be the) Dove, not the feather
Break of Dawn, not the weather
salt, not the wound,
the pull, not the moon, (of)

Gravity, Calliope, Gravity, Calliope, Gravity, Calliope
set me free set me free set me free
Gravity, Calliope, Gravity, Calliope, Gravity, Calliope
the reason we're all standing in this room, why we're all standing

Hope's a bird ...
