Wishing Chair: Music

Weave and Spin

(Wishing Chair)
1996-02-16
Kiya Heartwood
The part of me that's Frieda
Loves the smell of bougansvilla
It reminds me of the Casa Azul
And the streets of Cozacan

The part of me that's Georgia
Dreams of skulls and roses
The adobe heart of New Mexico
Brush strokes of sand

Chorus:

Weave and Spin
This dance begins
An opening
A melody
Am I

The part of me that's Natalie
Loves a woman fiercely
Roses to courtiers
A kiss like Paris wine

The part of me that's Emily
Standing loaded, ready
Scraps of fractured poetry
Locked inside a drawer

Chorus

The part of me that's Bessie
Lies bleeding on the highway
Knowing they could save me
But I'm just not their kind

Weave and Spin
This dance begins
An opening
A symphony
Am I

Chorus
