……………………
Ashes
Some are nights others stars
Each night lights up its star
And dances a black dance around it
Until the star burns outThen the nights split up
Some become stars
The others remain nightsAgain each night lights up its star
And dances a black dance round it
Until the star burns outThe last night becomes both star and night
It lights itself
Dances the black dance round itself.
The Seed
Someone sows someone
Sows him in his head
Stamps the earth down wellWaits for the seed to sprout
The seed hollows out his head
Turns it into a mouse hole
The mice eat the seedThey drop dead
The wind comes to live in the empty head
And gives birth to chequered breezes.
He
Some bite off the others’
Arm or leg or whateverTake it between their teeth
Run off as quick as they can
Bury it in the earthThe others run in all directions
Sniff search sniff search
Turns up all the earthIf any are lucky enough to find their arm
Or leg or whatever
It’s their turn to biteThe game goes on briskly
As long as there are arms
As long as there are legs
As long as there is anything whatever.
The Rose Thieves
Someone be a rose tree
Some be the wind’s daughters
Some the rose thievesThe rose thieves creep up on the rose tree
One of them steals a rose
Hides it in his heartThe wind’s daughters appear
See the tree stripped of its beauty
And give chase to the rose thievesOpen up their breasts one by one
In some they find a heart
In some so help me noneThey go on opening up their breasts
Until they uncover one heart
And in that heart the stolen rose.
Hide-and-Seek
Someone hides from someone
Hides under his tongue
He looks for him under the earthHe hides in his forehead
He looks for him in the skyHe hides in his forgetting
He looks for him in the grassLooks for him looks
Where doesn’t he look for him
And looking for him loses himself.
The Nail
One be the nail another the pincers
The others are workmenThe pincers grip the nail by the head
Grip him with their teeth with their hands
And tug him tugTo get him out of the floor
Usually they only pull his head off
It’s hard to get a nail out of a floorThen the workmen say
The pincers are no good
They smash their jaws and break their arms
And throw them out of the windowAfter that someone else be the pincers
Someone else the nail
The others are workmen
