(It's a real trial, I tells ye  )
I keep my library in my bedroom
because I hate to think guests would do as I do
when I visit them - fit their jigsaw together from their books
My bedroom is a library
and all my lovers plant new books
beneath my heart
It could be worse

all my lovers live in books
and my heart is buried in the library
beneath a tidy stack of daydreams

mi corazon -- thin like electric wire
but with real flesh, displayed
strong and slack
almost naked like
a mannekin upon bookshelves

Rain licks the Earth
with greedy tongue
loam-spice lingers
after it's long gone
