ANIMAL SONG
she as snake he as fox
they are laying on a plain
the greenery and scenery
and the smell of summer rain
they look up at the murky sky
- spot a crow flying by
they look to the right at the river
- see the gooses shiver to death ummm
7am a moody monday
jogging down the road
11pm a boring sunday
swimming in their clothes
how much will he sell her the sparrow
- a hundred pounds and fifty pence
how much will she sell him the chicken soup
- chicken soup will cost twenty pence
hunting stray sheep in the forrest
make love in their cave
planting carrots chasing rabbits
not having enough stuff to eat -
everything's so real surreal
the fox runs on his wheels
he chained his heart
which turned around and put chains round his will
everything's so real surreal
who's paying for water bills?
she talk her talk and walk her own walk
hunt down by her fox
258
drink a cup
of coffee
eat a piece
of hard toffee
read friday telegram
draw an empty diagram
listen to
beethoven
feeling down
and (a) bit homesick
maybe it's my regret
words i should have never said
it's all too late (now)
stand up and leave here
go somewhere but nowhere
stuck in my place for far too long
need to go run shout and stop the mourning
find a miracle of the day
i want a token
your arm is broken
i leave you in the sway
self divided self indulgence I
sensation of swimming
bubbled
in my dream last night
or this morning
i do not know
swimming i was
maybe in water
maybe in air
surrounded by colours
uncanny warmth and
patches of lights
hands reached out
further and further
body moved on
deeper and deeper
in a space warp
or a time warp
maybe
i do not know
cleansed and reborn
in my private cocoon
cocooned from badshaped blindness
against malfunctioned organs
primitive organic me
swimming on and on
sleeping to absolute brightness
self divided self indulgence II
absolute pupil
of my eye
black yet not black
brown yet not yellow
not quite white
matrix of soft and hard
masculine and feminine
feminine against masculine
all in one
all is not one
there is a sun in your eye
leaf of stone in your pupil
butterfly in your balloon
what do you know
what do you know
