I"ve been driving my mom's car all week because my daddy is fixing my car. Mom's car doesn't have a cd player, so I have been playing old cassette tapes. I listened to the Singles soundtrack on Monday and rocked out to Mother Love Bone and Pearl Jam. Yesterday, I found a Melissa Ferrick tape that my friend Kristin made for me several years ago. Kristin took me to one of her concerts at the Ark in 2002 and I loved it, even though I had never heard her music before. Melissa Ferrick is a lesbian folk/rock singer:
http://www.melissaferrick.com/index.asp I've been playing her song Drive over and over in the car for the past two days. It is so hot. I really need to get it on cd. What I like about it most is that even though I know she's singing about another woman, I can picture myself in this situation with either a man or a woman, either giving or receiving. It's about recognizing and owning your sexual power while using it to drive your lover crazy. It's also about surrendering to that power and getting lost in desire.

Your mouth waters

In the kitchen

right here between your hips
where all the love you hold and hide
it is where it lives
right here between your hips
this is where I want to live
it’s where all the love you give exists
Your mouth waters
stretched out on my bed
your fingers are trembling
and your heart is heavy and red
your head is bent back
your back is arched
my hand is under there
holding you up
