I See You Baby
2 February 2017

Ma’s cradle
Always in the shade
No needle
Neither blade
Only mama’s white Sunshade
Baby everglade
Baby’s lost
Running in graveyard
Mistaken
Green backyard
Hearts and guts are beating low
Lost in dusty flow
Inky glow
Uncovering deep
Maidens sleep
Do they weep
All you see is frightening teeth
Perhaps none beneath
Ma’s paddle
Tells you what to trade
The weasel
Says the grade
All love by which you’ll abade
Losing the parade
The soul’s cost
Trimming in billard
Forsaken
Green orchard
Stunts and brunts are beating brow
Death is costly blow
Pinch me slow
Awakening sleep
Husbands creep
From wells steep
Now they see the edge of heath
My life now bequeath
He crawled out
In tatters from thorns
His head bled
Bloody red
Mama Dove shows blue in me
I See You Baby
