Women
Women
You’ll come
By day
Or at
Night, Lord!
On your toes
On a
Horse 
Or on
Foot.

Naked 
You’ll come 
Wearing
A light 
Short dress
Soaked to
The skin.

I’ll sing
Sing soft
Long lost
Lullabies
And poems
Of Leaves
Of Grass.

Women
You’ll come
At night
With the
Soothing
Big thighs
The light
Or the
Sour lies
Inside.

Away
They’ll take
Sorrow
And light
Tomorrow.

Women
I’ll sing
Sing you
Soft light
Long lost
Lullabies.
