lyrics

Belonging: The sensation of simultaneously being born and giving birth to.

When you recall your childhood in the mountains,
among the milkweed drifting,
you drift through it, as it drifts
through you.

You may be driven to defend these places
from the prying eyes of those who would own them
without the knowledge of them that resonates
in your bones.

But do not do this in the same language.
You belong to these places,
as they belong to you
but you do not own them.

Ownership is a frightening and tenuous territory,
dependent on proof, on contracts
things written in blood (you know where your scars come from).

Belonging
is something
that needs no words
for it lies beneath them.
