CIRCLE ONCE - Mothers

One on each side of the head

And how do I make sense of it

Your voice somehow louder

The farther your walk away

When I am both bigger

And smaller than my body

I’ll get so much brighter

We’ve all said it once over

Tell me, are you not terrified

Of your body

I’m not mine

I’m not mine

Turning the words over

In your mouth

You circle once, lay down

You circle once, lay down

You circle once

You circle once and lay down like a dog
