lyrics

Long have I measured my love for others
by a violent plan of action in their defense.
They’ve bent back his fingers.
They’re teasing her sad face in public.
The nice ones tell her she reads too much.
The nice ones smile and talk over.
I dream knockdowns. The breaking of eyes
on the subway. I dream knockdowns.
A quiet femoral stab.
What more valuable gift, I’ve learned, than safety.
What more valuable gift, I’ve learned, than don’t worry.
What more valuable gift, I’ve learned, than safety.
What more valuable gift, I’ve learned, than anger
put to a loving use.
I have confessed this to James Baldwin only.
A talking of rage and slow suffocation,
a talking of France, drinks and good sentences.
Articulate menace and being yourself.
The weapon of what you decide you are worth.
The importance of work and his lovely silk scarves
The importance of words and his lovely silk scarves.
Oh, how I love him.
What more valuable gift, I’ve learned, than safety.
What more valuable gift, I’ve learned, than don’t worry.
What more valuable gift, I’ve learned, than books.
What more valuable gift, I’ve learned, than anger
put to a loving use.
