The course of the creek often takes me
To float from the fringes
From the heat
But sometimes it works to grease the hinges
To free the eel-like thing from where it’s taken to nestle within me
All slither, voltage, electricity
So that I must sit, sleep, eat with the beast
Until it’s seen, sated, feasted
Only when I get to the gravel, the grit, the pit of it
Does it seep out of me
Like a selkie from a green sea?
Does it seep out of me
Like a selkie from a green sea?
Until it goes, you must know
How it moves, how it grows
As you don’t know, until it goes
I’ll tell you
How it moves, how it grows
How I walk with it
Perched on my shoulder
A feathered thing
How it’s talons grip
Tight
Gleaming
How I get it from my body, from my blood, from my bones
Like a stone it won’t draw
It draws slow
And then seeps out of me
Like a selkie from a green sea?
And then seeps out of me
Like a selkie from a green sea?
