I've been watching him for seven days
His hands pale hee-ho-hee-ho-hee-ho
Knuckles moving beneath the skin
Foetuslike hee-ho-hee-ho-hee-ho
I've caught seven foxes
And placed them on the river bank
Each night I give him one hee-ho-hee-ho-hee-ho
Counting down the days till we are one
And clothe his heart in fur hee-ho-hee-ho-hee-ho
I sing of arms and the man his
Arms that wake each morning
White-knuckled and that copy claw gestures
7 6 5
7 6 5
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 and here I go
I take him in I take this body whole
So thin like a spine hee-ho-hee-ho-hee-ho
I thread him on inside of mine
And we are one and we are one hee-ho-hee-ho-heeeee-ho
And his is the fur at last I
See his eyes inside my mouth
Even when he sneaks into my bones
Forever unborn
Now finally I am a mother
Finallyiamamotherhee-ho-hee-ho-hee-ho
