flesh and bone and hair and teeth
all struggling to be born
skies above and earth beneath
and nothing in between
waiting till the penny drops
and hanging on the phone
empty now of all
but hair and teeth and flesh and bone
once i was a warrior
i rode the martial train
then i was a diplomat
i brought it home again
once i was a mother,
once a sister
once a son
then i lost it all
and found it's only just begun.
yes. to my surprise
i found it's only just begun.
