water caught
on fire tongues
where skeletons dance
for gypsy babies
close encounter
with an iron
made me
a blind girl
ran up the river
just to
become a part
of the solar system
but of course
i lost
those paperbacks
in the film
enjoyed my
visit with stalin
but i'm going
far back
hitting time
with a dish
of sweet
bavarian cream
until the
world looks clean
and white
and sweet
