and that's not what'
ll satisfy
my hunger no
that's not
what
'll ease
my mind
no
that's not it.

I weep and strive, strive and weep

The hypnotist was here
she spoke of the body tired from all the years
serving and doing things for us
and I went out from the body
and sat on the edge of the bed
looked at it
and climbed up to lick it
stroke it
take care of it.
