They don't know my name. I keep it hidden between the folds of my skirt. They told me I had to wear it but they don't like that they can't see my legs anymore. I keep it hidden in the bows holding my pigtails together. They don't know my name. I'm my father's daughter, my brother's...

I was a twirly whirly dancing girl But not alone, for there was another spinning top She looked like me, had my face and my smile We laughed the same, an excited giggle really Sometimes we laughed so hard, we went into silent laugh mode Staring at each other as happy tears ran down our face It looked like we were...

I gaze at a forest of willow trees beside the sea, Presenting to me lovely meanings of love and beauty In loving a man so deeply that I want him to be with me....

Birthday greetings! Get out of bed. Go to the river and dunk your head. Eat crawdad dung, until you are really fed. Then crank-call your senile Uncle Johnny Fred.

There is a quick-witted woman I know with three names; her silhouette is a mystery; she's had multiple fragile frames. Many have tried and failed to tame her rather long mane, but honestly, they were lame flames. Her treks motivate her for life’s endless, gruelling games.
