I shaved my head
After I awakened from a sickness
It was years ago
I am still sick today
I chased the fear from my mind by
shaving my head
I chased the fear from my heart naked
And nude in the house of my ancestors
I stripped my heart nude

Women shave your head
And get lost with out a body
Women shave your head
and get lost without a body

I am still sick today
The fear is in my body
A body is hard to shed

I am still sick today
The fear is in my body
A body is hard to shed


Tuned and forked I’ve arrived
At Monasteries
Three monasteries where
They too had shaved their heads
Catholic, Zen, Tibetan Buddhism,
Innocently teasing men at the monastery
Men at the monastery
Innocently teasing men at the monastery

Women shave your head
And get lost with out a body
Women shave your head
and get lost without a body

After I awakened from a sickness
I gave everything I owned away
the things I kept are missing today.
Now I a filled with abundances and more than I want





Women shave your head
Innocently teasing men at the monastery
Women shave your head
Why is there not a place for a woman to be found?
Why is it men who when shave their head seem wiser?
Where is the place for a woman with a shaved head?
Woman woman woman birth nurse
Where is the place for a mystic woman?
Who shaved her head and gave everything away?
Catholic, Zen, Islam,
Innocently teasing men at the monastery

Where is the place for the children of the woman with a shaved head?
And the children of the woman who chases fear away
Women shave your head
Women shave your head
And get lost with out a body
Women shave your head
and get lost without a body

Why is there not place for a woman to be found?
Why is it men who when shave their head seem more wise?
Where is the place for a woman with a shaved head?
Woman woman woman birth nurse
Where is the place for a mystic woman?
Who shaved her head and gave everything away?
