lyrics

Lift the pencil again, Bibi.
Poised this way over the drawing
your left eyebrow
arches quickly, just for amusement
then relaxes; your camel lashes
blink once, so slowly the movement should be
scored like a beam searching out
an evasive figure beneath
a dark eastern sky.
I’d swear that I could get away from you
but all gospels of evasion
lead back to this table
in this beam--
the yellow hue you put to paper
is a settling of divinations over our bowed heads.
Maybe you’re thinking if pencil
hadn’t been put to paper again,
had stayed withdrawn,
would Deliciosa
bow as dutifully
or blush under your concern?
“She needs something,” you say.
“The cat’s still in the bag.”
But even as you continue to draw her—
flesh, color, resonance-- interstitial finger raised,
I’m still trying to see you into existence too.
Looking behind comprehension, I see the moment
I saw your gift, the snakeskin dangling out of the bore
of a tree, which I doubted until I walked up to it.
I doubted everything.
