“Get Along Back” (Electronica Dance Groove / Driving Song)
By Athena Stairs, November 9, 2025
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
And they mistake (pause) me for a woman that’s crazed
Ain’t ever seen one on fire that ain’t been insane
But they forget (pause) what makes life feel alive
Is burnin’ passion for love – just give the place and the time
I’m movin’…
I’m groovin’…
I’m movin’ on gettin’ on jumpin’ back on that track
And there ain’t no way baby that they’re draggin’ me back
Because it’s high (pause) time we give that booty a smack
And there ain’t no point to loosin’ if we can’t win it back
I’m movin’…
I’m groovin’…
And there ain’t no point to loosin’ if we can’t win it back
I’m movin’…
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
I’m groovin’…
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
We’re movin’…
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
We’re groovin’…
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
(Get along back)
I’m groovin’…

However,
Her efforts would be pointless
If she were not in return prized

Grabbing The Bull’s Horn
She could get knocked off of her path
But she could also reevaluate strategy
Dissolving
Darling – project onto me so that I may aid:
What hooks are still imbedded and pulling?

Disclosure
Of course, I fear criticism
But I more fear losing you
You are what is most important
And love’s fragility we’re holding
Compromise
My love, they deceive you to
Keep you enchained believing
In dependence assuring freedom
But your beating heart is bleeding
What better balance may be struck
To guarantee our true love’s luck?

A Unicorn’s Sword
Symbol’s strength given to
Guard a woman’s chastity
“Only meant for virgins”
Message was for clarity
For the horn becomes more powerful
When it’s shared with the right woman
Honey
Sweet and sticky
Your lies convince
Of giving nourishment
But they are only excuses
Meant to keep your heart safe
After the hive’s been vandalized
Hey – YOU!
“Knock” it off, already
&
Come give me a kiss!
Capricorns I’ve Known
Like unicorns brandishing horns
Climbing to the top of mountains
Bugling their vision unhearing
Other sight having equal merit
What pressures felt to be right
Rooted in earth bound so tight?
Telescopic points of dissuasion
Difficult to budge if bargaining
Goat head-butting forcing truths
Demanding respect’s adherence
Knocking others off their paths
Chiding them for not following
I wonder if they had been raised
With more gentility of generosity
Perhaps they wouldn’t need to worry
About being so righteous in their glory
And my love for them wouldn’t be wasting
Upon sharp stones where it was trampled
Note that I too can
Brandish my horn

Unicorn Trauma Bonding
He found her one day
Not realizing she was
Impaled by others’ horns
& Stuck to the Tree of Life
Bleeding out in silence
Trying to hide the pain
Relying on camouflage to
Avoid alerting predators
The shock in her eyes was
Recognition not rejection
Instant pushing away flash
Had been meant to protect
Both him from her desperation
And because she had infection
Kind of hard to exhibit confidence
And go prancing to a most beloved
After unsticking one’s self without
A way to cauterize deep wounding
So he left not understanding that
She wanted most to be with him
Exposure
She knew she ran the risk
Of driving his interest away
By showing more of her hand
Making play perhaps too easy
But she was willing to gamble
For love’s high stakes winning
Fame & Fortune
It wasn’t for the money
It was for shared reality
Needing You
Everything in me twitches
Aching to give us release
Love’s Song
They offer to teach me singing
But my greatest song is loving
Everything about him
Wanting more to hold
This Man
He is dangerous to me
As too easily infiltrates
Passing as if unlocking
Any barrier’s resistance
Yet I am unfraid of damage
Only of his never returning
If He Knew
Would he come back?
Would he speak words
Needed to calm system
So we could both listen?
Honey, please unwind my
Torment-constricted body
Driven insane into rebelling
While control’s fragmenting
You’ve unraveled my coiling
Exposed writhing in daylight
Unable to retract defensively
Wearing my heart on a sleeve

In My Mind
Adam’s Rib
A good woman needs a good man’s entirety
Designed to protect and help evolve flaws
For she is the missing piece
Which supports his heart
And he is their sustenance
Providing life’s purpose

This Side Of The Veil
How had the sun been gently
Yet brightly slant-glowing him
As if late morning but
When late afternoon?
How was that area then open
With time sharing rare view?
Now when she parked near it
People lounged in cars by her
Which seemed odd as she waited
For why were they there like her?
The place was always busy now and
If went closer pedestrians observed
As if they expected something
To happen from her presence
Everything had quick-shifted into
People always using the pathway
The doors seemed to have closed
Firmly barring his return entrance

“I had wondered why I had stopped doing my hips’ physical therapy routine at the gym because I need those extra dial-ins, and I am too distracted and compressed at home to do them there.
So last week, I pulled them out again, and then found that guy suddenly in the row right behind me from out of nowhere again.
I caught him looking in a definitely not ok way as I turned to finish my routine.
The look was not one of appreciation, but like he was ‘getting off’ on me lewdly while storing info for later self indulging.
Right.
I had suppressed that memory because it was so, in fact, disturbing.
So I immediately left the area, showing my vote directly with my feet.
But later after making sure to keep always well away from him, and when I was relaxing with eyes closed into unwinding on a machine, he was suddenly right there on the machine next to me – but this time, with his eyes downcast and offering.
There was no mistaking what he was doing.
He had decided to press the point from a different angle with me.
So I got denser in my mass, moved firmly grooved in my own zone, and pushed out ‘don’t mess with me’ vibes as I again immediately left the scene.
His behavior wasn’t something that one can prove easily – which is a disgusting predation scheme that men of baseline morality often like to cultivate, and unfortunately his society cultivates as acceptable for male behavior if done on the ‘down low’ surreptitiously.
And while I could be in a way flattered by his stripping down his ego to submit to me after so rudely leering, the idea of accepting made me want to throw up quite literally.
I am not some abstract geisha queen.”
Yeah – Um! (Burnin’ Sky – Bad Company)
RePlay
They say it don’t matter
Find another in a dozen
Then why do my muscles
Clench to reach and hold?
How possible his aura
Emanated white gold?
Transfixed I panicked
And then he let me go
But I had not wanted
Him to give up easily
Adapting
In Or Out
Hope In The Dark
For a moment
It was there
A bridge across
Time between us
Proven instant
That we cared
Unexpected
Resilience
