Our Song
Let us sing a song
You and I
Let us sing two songs
For us both
Let us lie back
And think about our song
Our two songs
Songs primordial
Songs old
Like life
Like love
The song of the family
Haunts me
On its ethereal feet
Transports me
To my great great grandmother’s
Bed
My great great grandfather
Was a warrior.
Hot blood burns round
My vein
Leaving no ashes
Hot bloods merge
Mix boil together
Sing a song
Together sings
Two songs
Burns together
Leaving no ashes
And hot blood
Begat hot blood
Begat hot song
Begat you and I
Black burning thighs
Hard against
Burning black thighs
A song issues unto us
A son is born
Our song
A son
My manuscript.
