billy sang as we split
a ripe avocado
and parents taught us how to cry
cilantro in jars with basil
you cried in the aisle
we salted to taste
and tailored my waist to size
and we shed our underneath
and we found the clarity
it was as hard as they said
we simmered our bones and pruned back the dead
and the water ran every night
it felt like a burden
taking turns with my limbs
toes the color of heat
time overlapped and you needed
arguments we had made
love in the water
let love be the father of dreams we create
and we shed our underneath
and we found the clarity
it was as hard as they said
we simmered our bones and pruned back the dead
everyone said we would fall if we don't make our move
but everyone knows we are carefully planning our
future moods
and we shed our underneath
and we found the clarity
it was as hard as they said
we simmered our bones and pruned back the dead
