A WOMAN’S WORD
1996 L. Fiorentino

Come die in my arms on thousand deaths
Come die till you die no more
Wood, wind and water and holding you
Is what these arms are for

An avalanche in the hills of the heart
Can bury these words at your feet
Just as pigments when they are pushed too hard
Paint portraits of defeat

Swimming, I am swimming
Through silence and darkness unknown
Like a planet that spins as a baby begins
To realize she must breathe on her own
Water don’t you leave my lungs
Mother where shall I go?
How will anyone carry me?
How will I let them know?

Shall I offer my eyes up to the skies
And my heart up to my blood
And if my tongue wraps around these woman’s words
Will it save me from the flood?

And she says
Come die in my arms one thousand deaths
Come die till you die no more
Wood, wind and water and holding you
Is what these arms are for

ODETTA


"Being part of a Laurianne Fiorentino performance is to be gently guided from the everyday to a plane of beauty and understanding that presents to us the possibilities of the psycho-spiritual worlds we all seek with our beings."
