about

"Kitten in the Rubble" is comprised of 3 distinct, and intertwining movements, representing 3 generations of women - my grandmother, mother, and myself / sister.

This is to honor that as an egg, I was alive within my mother’s womb within my grandmother’s womb.

When I was born, I was decades old.

I felt her emotions, and experienced what she did. Our cells and bodies remember.

lyrics

"Turn that down so I can see, another case of 21st century blues.
Just how bad does it need to get, until you ask for a clue?

Good morning catastrophe, go ask my friends who've lived longer than me.
Compassion or the scarred skin we've learned to live in.

When do we fall in love with the time we're given?
When we see, endless synchronicity, wherever we be.

Guess I'm not going back, because I've never been.
In my ancestors step's I've walked thru the shore.
And in my own the rubble of that dome.
In the cinder blocking, a kitten calls itself it's home.

Started in the middle now ya out there on the outside,
It's not defined it's not defined.
When ya bending with the times, you're in an echo's rhyme
you're in a bind you're in a bind.
Way up in the attic in a box you'll never, you'll never find,
you'll never find, it's on my mind.
All the people lost within atomic reach,
Shadow's all they left behind.

This whole world up in arms is not just spending money alone,
No such thing as compromise between good and evil, Love is our home.
No such thing as compromise between good and evil, Love is our home.
No such thing as compromise between good and evil, Love is our home."
