Testi
Out of the need to make a light
(A sentinel heat dispersing the night)
We marveled proud at a burn so bright
(The oil leaking disregarded)
What didn't catch when the lantern flashed
Wept for the half that had turned to ash
And the singed forest of your body wretched
For its wholeness, now departed
One for the hike, two for the road
Three little pumps make it overload
Four for the tackle and five for the code
(All the courage he could gather)
One on the match, two on the lead
(Three whole weeks in a hospital bed!)
Four: St. John's wort, waking the dead
And the skin going hard as leather
Half out of you, half out of us
(Half ever more cadaverous)
Some out of pig flesh, some out of dust
Will put you back together
