Rings Of Saturn |
Upside down and inside out and on all eights |
You’re like a funnel-web |
Like a black fly on the ceiling |
Skinny, white haunches high and skyward |
And a black oily gash crawling backwards across the carpet to smash all over |
everything |
Wet, black fur against the sun going down |
Over the shops and the cars and the crowds in the town |
And this is the moment, this is exactly where she is born to be |
Now this is what she does and this is what she is |
And this is the moment, this is exactly where she is born to be |
This is what she does and this is what she is |
Her eyes that look at me through a rainy hair |
Two round holes where the air buckles and rushes in |
Her body, moon blue, was a jellyfish |
And I’m breathing deep and I’m there and I’m also not there |
And spurting ink over the sheets but she remains, completely unexplained |
Or maybe I’m just too tongue-tied to drink it up and swallow back the pain |
I thought slavery had been abolished |
How come it’s gone and reared its ugly head again? |
And this is the moment, this is exactly what she is born to be |
And this is what she does and this is what she is |
And this is the moment, this is exactly what she is born to be |
This is what she is and this is what she does |
And this is the moment, this is exactly what she is born to be |
And this is what she does and this is what she is |
And this is the moment, this is exactly what she is born to be |
Then this is what she does and this is what she is |
And now she’s jumping up with her leaping brain |
Stepping over heaps of sleeping children |
Disappearing and further up and spinning out again |
Up and further up she goes, up and out of the bed |
Up and out of the bed and down the hall where she stops for moment and turns |
and says |
«Are you still here?» |
And then reaches high and dangles herself like a child’s dream from the rings |
of Saturn |
