lyrics

Bodies of Flesh
Bodies of Knowledge
Practice – getting naked – having sex

Bodies of Flesh
Bodies of Knowledge
Practice – getting naked – having sex
Removal – Exposure – Vulnerability
Develop heels into toughness
Of femme solidarity

Bodies of Flesh
Bodies of Knowledge
Practice – getting naked – having sex
Superficial—Markers—that fuel felt power
when love and intimacy
is the true vulnerability

Bodies of Flesh
Bodies of Knowledge
Practice – getting naked – having sex
Degraded –Weakened– Angry we turn
to righteousness
But fear to risk --

What can we imagine
In our mind’s eye
obsessed with ownership
Guilt and shame to appropriate?
Can we not imagine
A story we don’t have to own

We are all queer
We are all whores
We are BLOOD--
Disempowered by our flesh

Waitress
Stripper
Porn Star
Whore
And the world will never look the same

And the world … the world
will never
look the same!
