With the
Other She Carries She
sleeps through her ambush hot feelers shaded by the passing birds Hot
feelers shaded by the passing birds’ sweet milk muscle. Burning
the quiet quilt of her birth-sac the better to cart prey so it may be swallowed
at night. Hot
feelers shaded by the passing birds’ sweet milk muscle. With the
other she carries an education and welfare satchel or
(shaded by the passing birds’ sweet milk muscle) she ribs
the spine of half-crazed music-box mice and her
rough tongue rips decorative ghosts in a cold rag so it
might be swallowed. Hot
feelers shaded by the passing birds’ sweet milk muscle. Sweet
milk muscle with the other she carries that it may be swallowed. French translation by Pierre Petiot | ||
