Song for Holly

from east to the sea by mary bue

/

lyrics

i pretend my body is venus
and i look myself up and down
oh holly, wouldn't you be proud?

did a man arouse this?
no, he only shook the trunk
of the tree that was already wavering in the breeze

oh holly, wouldn't you be pleased?

this is a song for holly
holly where are you girl?
you're taking the world for a ride
thought you'd try it all on for size

soft, i know i am
the softest sateen
but these teeth
could draw blood
and this jewelry could scar if rubbed too hard
holly, wouldn't you be proud?

diana of the hunt and kill
delphi of the womb
i won't hurt you we say
we women of the seafoam and solace

ride like a horse's mane
from galaxy to dishrag
staring out of the window
towards the dream realized
