about

Women have taught me a lot about love. They are all so wonderful. This track is about how love can help you realize how stupid you've been in the past but it doesn't matter cause the love is here now!

lyrics

Learning About Women


Tender, tender, tender touch,
naked tub of warm water bodies,
wide wonder wide sky open mouths.

My eyes shine her skin.
The future, the past, and the present breathe there.
Every war is won there.
Every star is born there.
Every animal runs free there.
Every man bakes cookies there.

Her jealous ex plots my death.
The boys in the bathroom brag about dirty sex.
The men in the bar offices check another nothing off their sadness.

Her smooth-tongued voice sinks all the knowledge of my heart
as the ship sets sail into the sunrise.
I realize I have learned the wrong thing a million times.
She puts my head underwater.
I allow her spirit to relocate my mind.
Inside her heavens I discover the ways of the wild wind to the woman.

I clear everything from under my mind,
breathing through feet
hands follow hearts
souls sparkle hair
ghosts touch face
misconceptions gracefully disintegrate.

"That's pretty, what is that called?" I ask,
"Clavicle," she laughs back.
Lips descend to neck.
Bodies vanish into air.

This poem is from an upcoming book out in Jan. 2013 "Child Be Wild" published by Inner Child Press.
