Throw It Away - by Abbey Lincoln
Performed by Esperanza Spaulding
"you can never lose a thing if it belongs to you"
When no one is looking,
I swallow deserts and clouds
And chew on mountains
knowing they are sweet bones!
When no one is looking
and I want to kiss God
I just lift my own hand
to my mouth.
- Hafiz
