Woman with Long – Hair, Man Ray, 1929
I am the woman with the long hair
grown through years of want
and waiting
I am the woman with the stillborn dreams
feeling them dry up within me
throughout my gestation
I am the woman with the red shoes
dancing for my life
as the crowd looks on
I am the woman with the arching back
bent to your will
always aching
I am the woman with the bloody hands
reaching for a cigarette
sick of all the bullshit sacrifice
