Thus,
whispered an hourglass in my ears...

Don't stretch your arms
like the branches...

Black man sings:
Compering to the way you moving your booty...

She was nothing but
a reflection on the tea...

_why are the mockingbirds mocking us?
Is it something we said...

He brushed me off with his eyelashes and said,
"You are an idiot—you know nothing...

Without you
I am just a stranger...

This moment is all
I am able to have for...

Tell me:
what is mightier...

Blackamoor singing
and his teeth brighten the room...

How, in jungles,
the strong separate...

like a moth that was going towards the fire.
I have seen you in darkness...
