I have done it again
One year in every ten
I manage it--
A sort of walking miracle, my skin
Bright as a Nazi lampshade
My right foot
A paperweight
My face a featureless, fine
Jew linen
Peel off the napkin
O my enemy
Do I terrify?--
The nose, the eye pits, the full set of teeth?
The sour breath
Will vanish in a day
Soon, soon the flesh
The grave cave ate will be
At home on me
And I a smiling woman
I am only thirty
And like the cat I have nine times to die
One year in every ten
I manage it--
A sort of walking miracle, my skin
Bright as a Nazi lampshade
My right foot
A paperweight
My face a featureless, fine
Jew linen
Peel off the napkin
O my enemy
Do I terrify?--
The nose, the eye pits, the full set of teeth?
The sour breath
Will vanish in a day
Soon, soon the flesh
The grave cave ate will be
At home on me
And I a smiling woman
I am only thirty
And like the cat I have nine times to die
