One of our members, Piper Kuristik, reminded me of this great spoken word. Your official position is that smoothness is queen but without any lines there’s no reading between them A storybook opening My life’s just begun and Once upon never plays If you cling to line one As you try to cover the living I’ve done As a human, a woman, and now as a mum But your red pen can’t rub out the night’s I’ve not slept, the parts that I’ve bled or the laughter I’ve wept, the baby I held in the stomach that stretched, the breasts that got heavy so baby was fed, the parties I’ve had out, the sleep I’ve missed out on, the dinners I’ve stuffed down my throat like a python, As you pile on the pressure to cover my life I wonder what on earth is so wrong with your sight. If my mind and my memory can tell you my tales Then why can my body not tell them as well? As our babies lie naked, Applauding their skin I can’t wait for their lives and their lines to begin. ~LA https://youtube/watch?v=Pf-L0cdcKic
