One More Song, One More Breath, One More Day
One more before the shepherd's wormchow.
One more before the
wolf shies at the afterbirth.
One more before the
night burns its shadow
and swallows the
ashes.
One more before the
owl’s whiplash.
One more before the
cow’s wink.
One more before the
tree drops its leaves
and shows us its
hunger.
One more before the
leaves
cry at our feet.
One more before the
idiot dances,
please,
one more before the
women are gone.
