sugar and spice

sugar and spice and

memories of ice

pierce me cold and heavy

 

still I need snow and

memory to grow

oh my love am I ready

 

live to jazz June and

panic too soon and

play me and flay me open

 

flesh of my shell and

shell of my self they

take me so here’s to hoping

 

unknown a sound bite

carry a flashlight

save me and love still lingers

 

name me a good time

my boots and laugh lines

drag me through all my fingers

 

I can carry them too

all of me all of you

give me just a minute to fix up

 

I can live in this grief

& the edge of my seat

let all my bones fill your cup

 

under the rain we

make like a game we

smile and love still lingers

 

pound out a tune and

give you the moon and

on fire love still lingers

 

sugar and spice and

memories of ice

pierce me cold and heavy

 

lemons and bliss and

drop of moon kiss

tell me that I’m still ready

 

sugar and spice and

memories of ice

pierce me cold and heavy

 

still I need snow and

memory to grow

oh, my love, ask, I’m ready
