April 11.
So sang the Four Square gospel choir
Anoint me with olive oil because I burnt a cake stuffed
chocolate flowers in my eyes braided
my bedsheets lathered lard into my hair removed my tongue for safekeeping
left my ovaries on a fence took the baths
at Baden-Baden telephoned my exes
claimed they fathered baby goats removed my arms for safekeeping
promised my soul to a Pentecost cult
shaved my left leg in the bloody nick
removed my breasts for safekeeping
smoked the guts of a pixie stick removed my womb for safekeeping
ate the husk of the corn instead removed that fetus for safekeeping
there is magnolia poison over me
there is magnolia poison over me
Oh Lord come down now
there is magnolia poison over me

I've removed my think meat for safe keeping.
I sit in your poetry for a long time, it does something to me but I can not put my finger on it, I have removed my finger.
I’m sorry about yr think meat O please bring it back.

praise be glory to the baby goats
They sang baaabaaabaaa. Not sheep at all as foretold. Xo
i'd rather their high heeled boots for church, anyhow. also, for dancing.
removing everything for safekeeping -- pow! -- that refrain is going to haunt me
The problem is, of course, remembering where we left those bits of ourselves for safekeeping.
