Vertebrae By Vertebrae

LETRA

Vertebrae By Vertebrae

up-on-the-toe
there is a view
up-on-the-toe
and the spine
straight and erect
hungry and curious
up-on-the-toe
looking forward to

…the air is thinner here…

she came here to lose face
got down on her knees
the beast is back
on 4 legs
set her clock to the moon
raises her spine

vertebrae by vertebrae

up-on-the-toe
looking…

I have been filled with
steam for months, for years
same old cloud
claustrophobic in me

let it burst
like old train sounds
make them leave me, nature

vertebrae
by vertebrae
by vertebrae
by vertebrae
by vertebrae

! my arms ooze out of my shoulders !
and the arms ooze out of my shoulders

I curl my tail
inwards, inwards
set my clock on the moon

vertebrae by vertebrae

please release
this pressure off me

please release
this pressure off me

please release
this pressure off me
