Annunciation of a Bone - June 1993
I am looking at vertigo, staring straight into it when she comes up to me. I'm in a lot of pain, she says. Why's that? I'm pregnant, she says. Is this a good thing? Since I've found Jesus it is, she says. Jesus? Yes, he's been speaking to me, she says. Is this a good thing? O yes, she says. And you know what is real funny? she asks. What? I haven't had sex with anyone in over a year, she says. Well, I guess you really should have that baby. And she smiles real big.
Proverba Figurati - June 1993
She say, my my oh my, what has you dug up there for me? And he say, nothing. And she say, but I see something there in your hand. And he say, ain't nothing, just my funny bone. A funny bone! she cry. That's just what I've always wanted. And he say, o.k. I give it to you but first let me put it into this hole.
Sorrow Full Bone Scape Under Full Moon of Winter
June 1993
Asking a million answers in my mind which burns with Holy Fire. How do I catch something with nothing? With laughter? With desire? Coming around again in my mind: time. When did I get here and how and why? Laughing with desire. Have you sat in your boat in the moon's bright tunnel under the Bone Tree's blaze? Have you ever fished all night? Cast out your net again and again into the blaze? Sitting there in a boat full of fish slowly sinking, have you ever started singing?
After Blake's Dragon - June 1993
Born out of the sea. Blood swelling over bones. I wish I had an island. Born out of the sea. And a hut upon the island with a path leading down to the sea. And a woman-child. Born out of the sea. A woman who would give me the English Language and let me take off her skin. And I would trade shells for legends. Born out of the sea. She would show me how to raise the dragon and keep it close to me. Blood swelling over bones. Dragons slipping out of shells. Being born out of the sea.
