We picked our wayDown to the beachWatching the waves dragging out of our reachTangling tails, like a sodden sheetDangling entrails from the gut of the seaHoarding our mealsAlfalfa and rollsTrying not to catch the cold eye of the gullsI hope Mother Nature has not overheardThough she doles out hurt like a puking birdWe stayed for the winterNo-one told us about the laws of the landI hold my ownBut you, with your hungerYou, on the other handMake yourself knownAnd when we were foundI know we both grievedMy heart made the sound of snow falling from eavesYou and me, Bess, we was as thick as thievesSo I swore nonetheless up and down, it was only meSo they took me awayAnd after some timeStudying my case, must have made up their mindsBy the time you realized I was dyingMust have been too late, I believe you were not lyingIt is the dayI wake, with my ears cocked up like a gunLike every day, of courseYanked by my wristsTo the sugar-front courtyardNow tell me, what have I doneIt seems I have stolen a horse andI step to the gallowsWho do you think that you areArching your hooves like a crane,In the shallow guttersThat lights the boulevards,Crowded with folks who justStare as I hangIt's all the sameKindness comes over me, what was your nameIt makes no difference, I'm glad that you cameForever I'll listen to your glad neighing
