Red as taillights, red as a stop light
Your heartbeat flew into the room
A child I'd curl up small at night
I am not yet born; Oh hear me
We will never remember dying
We were low on petrol
I hadn't met his kind before
Before the spectacled professor snipped
Sometimes I wonder what I'm like underneath
Here is a soul, accepting nothing
"Will I die?" you ask. I pause
She wanted a little room for thinking
This is the gift my son gave me
It's not the hens that matter, scratching
Later, maybe, hanky-panky
This is my daughter and this is my son
I'm coming back as a Labrador, or the saddle of a lady's bike
When all the others were away at mass
The memory of my father is brown paper, sticks
Every other weekend, they go to their mother's
I don't need to tell you what you've done
Catching Life by the throat
You do not do, you do not do
