lyrics
Cupped in your palm, the shrieks of fear, like rabbits multiply
you have never heard a rabbit scream before. Never,
until now, and you hear it dim, quiet at first.
spots of sunsets in your eyes --
the brief keening cry of an animal.
The heartbeats increase until a hummingbird flies in your hands,
you can feel the veins pulsing, the beats of a thousand and one nights,
in a single terrified second. But still you stroke the soft white fur.
Mouth the snake charmer's weird lullaby, croon a mad slow song.
The quietened footsteps of death will fence it into quiescence: don gloves,
preach in the wilderness, wear paint on your face, resemble a tree.
Small beasts will come to stay with you. How then
you will believe that you possess a heart! But,
the seasons, the slumber of the living world;
to feel that small soft body miss, shivering,
coerced into the framework of an unprotected embrace --
pulsing faintly, momentarily; now gone.
