she said

[creativesoul]

she said' i just needed to learn how to stand in my power-another woman said, that until i love myself- i cannot love another, another sister said that until i am commited completely to God i will not find a partner..
the gypsy said
on the santa monica pier for two dollars- she read my barely formed palm, had a queer look on her face said in old lady talcolm powder and blue eyeshadow and eyeliner like cleopatra herself-her bones touched me- she said' there will be many people jealous of you, you have a gift' so terrified i took the bus home with my lil girlfriend have boobs yet either
it took 54 years to understand that shit
like i do now
sure
a million prayers later
those bones were radioactive
i was never the same
call it paranoid
maybe
but i knew she saw something
she could not say
