1
Upside down and inside out [?]
2
You're like a funnel-web
3
Like a black fly on the ceiling
4
Skinny, white haunches high in the sky
5
And a black oily gash crawling backwards across the carpet to smash all over everything
6
Wet, black fur against the sun going down
7
Over the shops and the cars and the crowds in the town
8
And this is the moment, this is exactly where she is born to be
9
Now this is what she does and this is what she is
10
And this is the moment, this is exactly where she is born to be
11
This is what she does and this is what she is
12
Her eyes that look at me through a rainy hair
13
Two round holes where the air buckles and rushes in
14
Her body, moon blue, was a jellyfish
15
And I'm breathing deep and I'm there and I'm also not there
16
And spurting ink over the sheets but she remains, completely unexplained
17
Or maybe I'm just too tongue-tied to drink it up and swallow back the pain
18
I thought slavery had been abolished
19
How come it's gone and reared its ugly head again?
20
And this is the moment, this is exactly what she is born to be
21
And this is what she does and this is what she is
22
And this is the moment, this is exactly what she is born to be
23
This is what she is and this is what she does
24
And this is the moment, this is exactly what she is born to be
25
And this is what she does and this is what she is
26
And this is the moment, this is exactly what she is born to be
27
Then this is what she does and this is what she is
28
And now she's jumping up with her leaping brain
29
Stepping over heaps of sleeping children
30
Disappearing and further up and spinning out again
31
Up and further up she goes, up and out of the bed
32
Up and out of the bed and down the hall where she stops for moment and turns and says
33
"Are you still here?"
34
And then reaches high and dangles herself like a child's dream from the rings of Saturn
