BIRTHDAY PARTY

If I love you 
I will show up early and leave late 
Bring tequila, grapefruits, limes, a bag of ice 
Dance and sing and smile til everything hurts 
In exchange all I want is 
 the music inside me 
Turn it all the way up 
As I take the speaker into my hands 
Hold the beat to my ribs, my diaphragm, 
Vibrating the pain 
Strumming my pelvic floor 
holding me together 
A stroke of luck to be here
