Sleeping Torpor |
| It did not happen in a day |
| We hummingbirds said, «Father don’t |
| You could do the right thing |
| You could turn around.» |
| He called our names and 1, 2, 3 |
| We slipped into the snow boots |
| Stood behind the coats hanging lowest |
| In the closet racks |
| I moved and made a sound |
| The hangers jangled |
| Did he hear the metal clattering? |
| And had I given us away? |
| I’d given us away |
| We waited side by side |
| We could hear your soles squeak |
| We could feel the ground shake |
| We tightly closed our eyes |
| You found us, you were right this time |
| How did you know? |
| We were curled in sleeping torpor |
| We dreamed of flying up where the exhausted die |
| You found us, you were right this time |
| How did you know? |
| Pinned behind the pantry with the vacuum |
| Pancaked underneath the bed means dead |
| Nestled between the ladle, with the pots and pans |
| My heart beats and beats |
| And I can hear it like a drum in my head |
