brazos - the observer lyrics

Loading...

completely protected on all sides by volcanoes
a woman, darkhaired, in stained jeans
sleeps in central africa
in her dreams, her notebooks, still
private as maiden diaries
the mountain gorillas move through their life term;
their gentleness survives
observation. six bands of them
inhabit, with her, the wooded highland
when i lay me down to sleep
unsheltered by an natural guardians
from the panicky life-cycle of my tribe
i wake in the old cellblock
observing the daily executions
rehearsing the laws
i cannot subscribe to
envying the pale gorilla-scented dawn
she wakes into, the stream where she washes her hair
the camera-flash of her quiet
eye
