Mi Marciana

I swear it's seeing your face
And my soul lights up
And you bring out the sun in your eyelashes
And the world blooms
You drop a handkerchief while walking
And my hand picks it up without me
You have the freshest laughter
Of all the springs

You are the bell of my sparrows' nest
You smell like grass and taste like ink and smudges
You are the May lightning, my letters, your creams
Singing in the car
When we put the chairs together, I feel so clumsy

You have hugs that span cities saved for me
You have a kiss of rice and milk in the valley
And you say you come from Mars and you're
Going to leave, come on, you'll go
But sometimes, just sometimes
What is happening is what it seems
Sometimes it seems like you've already left

My female, my brave lady combs
Her braid like the sirens
And rows in the sand, if she wants

Oh my female, your mint lips
Look better with mine
If they roll... Your smile is better if it bites
Oh my female

Do you remember when the sunrises began
I feel that dawn made us stronger
And then the quiet chat between drops
The crumbs did their part
Then the chairs come together
The voices fall asleep
And I feel the tears
Fall but they have no name
And I think your confusion
I take it away in a dance
That's what freedom is about
Not giving up on giving more
I like you just the way you are
If you feel the same and want to
We move forward and reach the end

My female, my brave lady combs
Her braid like the sirens
And rows in the sand, if she wants
Oh my female, your mint lips
Look better with mine
If they roll... Your smile is better if it bites
Oh my female

My female
