Lemondrop by Helen Melon published on 2012-09-06T23:41:29Z Lemondrop. Written 2010. (With thanks to the story of 'Vasalisa the Wise' as told by Clarissa Pinkola Estés in her book 'Women Who Run With The Wolves' : a favourite story of mine and Leili's.) ©HelenMelon2010 ℗HelenMelon2010 When I'm in the forest, and I'm lost, and I don't know which way to go/ I reach into my pocket, there's a paper bag, and in this bag I know/ I've got my Lemondrop/ I've got my Lemondrop/ I've got my Lemondrop. The house, it stands on chicken-legs, the fence and garden-gate are made of bones/ She slaves me, she grinds me, she wants to eat me up, but I am not alone, no/ I've got my Lemondrop/ I've got my Lemondrop/ I've got my Lemondrop. Now I've found all the questions to the answer that you set me, yeh/ and by the rules of this game, you know you're not allowed to take me yet/ not yet/ not yet...motherfucker! La-la-la-la-la-lah! Na-na-na-nah! I'm searching through your ashes for an ember I can set inside my skull/ To light the cold grey ghosts out of the house, let them go/ The night is almost over, in the East there is a streak of lemon light/ Just like your lemon sweetness in the vault of my dark mouth/ sent its streak of sunrise up through the darkness in my soul saying/ this way...now this way...and now this way..is the way to go. La-la-la-la-la-lah! We'll light the cold, grey ghosts out of the house! Na-na-na-nah! When I'm in the forest, and I'm lost, and I don't know which way to go/ I reach into my pocket, there's a paper bag, and in this bag I know... I've got my Lemondrop.
