when a man steps out of a woman's life (Good woman)

 

woman - You may not have realized it yet,

but I am a woman, therefore;

 I am enchanting

 It happened before you were born

 I dance choreographed waltz with the universe.

 I was very much a part of the original design.

man - once I was born I worshipped you.

 Called you goddess, sang praises,

you were my world.

woman - I yielded my body as your playground.

you were so young then, mischievously playing in my puddles.

 I called them oceans.

 staying safe in your jungle gyms and desert sandboxes

Until you grew older and carved vulgarities into my bones

man - Father taught me that everything female is less than male,

 that she is a commodity, A piece of meat, a patch of soil,

 I was just doing what I was taught

So i knocked out her teeth and used them as white picket fences I am rage,

I am war

woman - Man is to blame for the expulsion from The Garden of Eden

I am a woman defiled shoreline mascara stencils my face ugly

man -  I have robbed you,

woman - drill me for all that I possess cut down my trees,

 and still push against the trunk of my spine,

man - i thrust glorious,

 everywhere triumphant she cries like hysterical city laughter

 I have dominion over her Body will and testament

woman - You don't even look at me.

 Your obsessed with Industrial landscapes like my hills aren't enough.

These curves never satisfy your aesthetics

man - This suppression writes itself on my knuckles

her heart swings like a broken birds wing

I pay no attention to her changing body These scars tattoo her as highways- but I refuse to walk So I use her

She never says no

woman - {I never say no} But I know he sees the misery written in my body stooping beneath the weight of my machines

Palms bulldoze my body limp and lifeless. i am his rode kill. his sky smothered in smog

 

then complains when I'm pale.

You dig out my earth until I am desertified, And empty.

You tell me I'm not the same woman you married like it's my fault

man - Cheating on her has always been about muffling the power of her core,

dancing hurricane warfare around fault lines her volcano belly butterflies are about to erupt these divorce papers are apocalyptic, I know this, but I still chase profit

woman - If you're at all interested,

 I've begun to name the effects of this abuse like countries

You can catch it on the news.

 Cause I am shaking...Haiti,

 drowning New York in sulfur tears,

 my tidal tongue swallows Tibet,

the blood around Louisiana has grown black.

This hatred you've infused scorches Zimbabwe's forests DAILY.  

man - Go ahead, bitch, scream lets hear you challenge the integrity of my cities with your wind how powerful are you really?

 

woman - If you're at all intested

I'm changing form, this process is unstoppable I will smash you, end you, If i sign these divorce papers

And I am your- destruction. But I will rebuild. Cause what you didn't know, my greatest mistake, what I forgot to tell you, is I am the uproar of oppressed nations. And a revolution is long overdue. Let a man step out on his woman and watch the earth....quake
