I've been watching him for seven days
His hands pale
Hee ho hee ho hee ho
Knuckles moving beneath the skin
Foetuslike
Hee ho hee ho hee ho

I've caught seven foxes
And placed them on the river bank
Each night I give him one
Hee ho hee ho hee ho
Counting down the days till we are one
And clothe his heart in fur
Hee ho hee ho hee ho

I sing of arms and the man his
Arms that wake each morning
White-knuckled and that copy claw gestures
7 6 5
7 6 5
7 6 5 4 3 2 1
And here I go...

I take him in I take this body whole
So thin like a spine
Hee ho hee ho hee ho
I thread him on inside of mine
And we are one and we are one
Hee ho hee ho hee ho

And his is the fur at last I
See his eyes inside my mouth
Even when he sneaks into my bones
Forever unborn...
Now finally I am a mother
FinallyIamamother
Hee ho hee ho hee ho
