It Takes A Lot To Know A Man

It takes a lot to know a man
It takes a lot to understand
The warrior, the sage
The little boy enraged…
It takes a lot to know a woman
A lot to understand what’s humming
The honey bee, the sting
The little girl with wings…
It takes a lot to give,
To ask for help, to be yourself
To know and love what you live with
It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel
The slow reveal of what another body needs…
It takes a lot to know a man
A lot to know, to understand
The father and the son
The hunter and the gun
It takes a lot know a woman
A lot to comprehend what’s coming
The mother and the child
The muse and the beguiled
It takes a lot to give,
To ask for help, to be yourself,
To know and love what you live with
It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel
The slow reveal of what another body needs…
It takes a lot to give
To ask for help, to be yourself
To know and love what you live with
It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel
The slow reveal of what another body needs…
It takes a lot to live
To ask for help, to be yourself
To know and love what you live with
It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel
The slow reveal of what another body needs…
What are you so afraid to lose?
What is it you're thinking that will happen if you do?
(you keep digging, you keep digging)
You wrote me to tell me you're nervous and you're sorry
Crying like a baby saying “this thing is killing me”
