Before this river comes an ocean?
An alter for if you want to go ahead and go, or stay,
Looking for the look of revolution
Here’s a good old-fashioned candle piece
This one’s for the ladies
Let’s set it on fire
We’ll just mourn and move on,
Taking my breath away, one-night only performance, California Institute of the Arts,
Valencia, California
