This Is What Happens When You Realize That Language Is A Two-Faced Proposition by ann pedone
I remember what you said about a woman’s body/that it is
an instrument/all neck but no strings /You say you want to
suck all of the holiness out of her/But you do that and
all you’ll find is grain/ You see this light leaking out from
between her legs/We don’t have a word for that yet/at least
not in this language/I know this song won’t catch anyone
by surprise/Least of all you/You there with your lips on
her neck/Not so fast/Did you hear yourself echo through her
Did you get that/Language is a Trojan Horse/That’s why you
feel so/boxed in /Remember what your mother told you
Sex doesn’t follow Newton’s laws/It is a thing formed when
memory passes from milk to blood/When all of the words
that you’ve learned /go missing up inside her/Whatever you
do/Don’t try searching for her in the word woman/You won’t
find her there.
