on tour
it might be a little late bc im going on tour in june but fuck u im getting laid go to hell
yooo wait on tour??? no back up, are you in a band?!?!?
no my drummer left me and i haven't made music in four and a half years,
i am a poet and a bard and a woman of letters,
i have business and i have curiousity and i have connections and i have intention
well i wrote like one song
maybe two
but regardless,
i go to make art
i go to change people
i go to kiss girls
i go to explore and scout out cities
i go to be inspired and to write and to teach and to learn
i go to have a particular beautiful woman draw all over my body for the aesthetic value
i go to cry with my friends
i go to sing and to song and to dance and to laugh and to march
almost definitely boston 7-12
then almost certainly philly, maybe somewhere else if i have time
could go to PGH if my people are home
could go to NYC but idk if i have many
could go to SF to see my friend a second time
i have no great interest in solitude save what serves my adventuring
my people are in philly
i have been offered hospitality
i have
plans
that i cannot speak openly of and
i have others that i may
i have plots and investigations
i have one or more ulterior motive
which i have given fair hint and warning and drawn fair free reign over
i have projects to attend to and shapes to contort my body into
: ) it is not so hard to be offered hospitality in my position,
so long as i do not harden my heart
(importantly i do also have wealth)
i'm not going to go play 'shows'
aha there were not many people at my last show
i think that's the only show i've done before that wasn't cancelled...
hmmm i've done a few others (though not for anyone that was listening)
sooooo long ago that it's hard to tell
but i've played for many people
songs that i would never write down
on principle
songs for the moment
for the wind
for the mountain
for the space between the people present
for the space held for one in particular
for the space in my own heart that cries out for vibration
