|
I took my black teeth down to the sea |
|
Brother of mine |
|
I washed myself in your steely gaze |
|
We read your name o'er jaguar hide |
|
Brother of mine |
|
You saw terminus and bruised your knees |
|
I lashed their bodies to the wheeling suns |
|
Brother of mine |
|
You tossed wet bluebirds in the air |
|
I sensed the whetstone's dark embrace |
|
Brother of mine |
|
Tender and rude like a tiger skinned |
|
We once were lechers, rakes and rogues |
|
Mother of mine |
|
You're coming through |
|
We swam with sages, trout and thorns |
|
Father of mine |
|
You're coming through |
|
We swallowed truncheon, shield and child |
|
Sister of mine |
|
You're coming through |
|
We spoke with sinners, snakes, and slaves |
|
Daughter of mine |
|
You're coming through |
