Grey eyes link these--sharp dawns Bird-chested These cornered arms Half-lit, mirthless, marksman Of bamboo chute & charm I took your portrait from the wall And your picture at the window s**ed you lemon dry and wept-- Deep in the hall Who would swallow my life? And leave me as a child In the whale I can see the bone And the muscle in dim-light Who would swallow my life? And leave me here to die In these arms I can feel my home Breaking from inside Who would swallow my life? And leave me here to die In these arms I can feel my home Breaking from inside
