Taxidermist Taxidermist

Dislocation Pushy persuasion Ligament and bone Ligament and bone Crystal structures Defects and blunders Once turning All my mineral to stone, stone, stone And so I reintroduce me to myself "How do you do?" I say, "I've heard such lovely things about Who you are and where you've been But be in me again, yes back in me again." Will, oh will, oh wilderness, my wilderness Dark and ambiguous Will you tangle me in? Lie, oh lie, oh lioness, my lioness Sharp and ambivalent Won't you lie on my skins? Taxi, taxidermist, taxidermist Sopping-ripe intentionest, oh I am intent On paying attention again To my own cracked compass Steady-handed Semantic satiation Where I can say your name Over and over Til it means nothing A deliberate extinction Of everything I know now I Was never meant to know Know about you But you are a fawn With such secrets And I have been fond And keen on your meekness I've bled dry for your arms And I've longed to gnaw on your neck Fawning over it My love, oh my sweet love Whom I am yet to unravel with One night lie on my pulse Tap the beats of my heart Out on your clavicle One day we shall be enraptured Sweet enrapture! What anticipation and how masterful You can show me I am here in this world Tall and truly true Meeting myself before I meet you
