Three shows for this coming weekend. Happy to be returning to the VOV Fest on Friday. Excited to check out our old NY Antifolk Scene pal Shilpa Ray. It’s been a while. Also got a chance to play a local KC show with Jamaican Queens last weekend so we’re looking forward to re-witnessing their enormous sound on a larger stage as well.

Morning sun deliver meSkin crumbs that chip and peal
from all the faces
That I love and dream
We learn to dance with
The broken bodies
We study the chickens in the yard
We learn from their moves
We sit upon the broken eggs
The imperfect yolks.
Broken free
We shine with glitter
Dripping from the corners
of our mouths
We smile rainbows
With each potato we peel
Each root we pull from the earth
Our dirt clod legs
Dangling in the sunlight
Pounding on the water trough.
Of this earth but no longer in it
Time to skip and dance
Time to feed others
With our passion packets of
Life force.
Feast on us.
Be filled to move.
