Sea water is flowing from the
Middle of my thighs
Wild buffalo are dancing on

Clifftops in the skies

Adorn me in feathers

From dead birds and
Contemplate the size of
Leather pelts to wind me in

Put shudders on my eyes

They'll cover the hills

With their sweet flesh
And soft nails
They'll cover the doors

With the screams that
Their minds dispose


Write it down, write it down,
Down the names and dates
Of the daughters

Who bore out of me
Like grandmother's vines


They hang from the planks
Of my cedar grave grow
Pretty long lashes and beards

Guarding the rain of me from them
Heedless, trampling toes
Gathering honeybees

In their sockets and creases and holes

They'll cover the hills

With their sweet flesh
And soft nails
They'll cover the doors

With the screams that
Their minds dispose


They'll weave their long souls
Into the frame to grow their foliage in
They'll sew their long hairs

Into their beds to keep them crawlers out
To keep them crawlers out
To keep them crawlers out

To keep them crawlers out
Keep them crawlers out
Keep them crawlers out
