words dance all around
In the outside world inside
my thirsty brain
my thirsty brain
takes words from songs,
myths and legends
myths and legends
in English and Spanish
claw for attention
claw for attention
my gentle she-cat's paw
rests upon my arm
rests upon my arm
the silky sleeve that cools
in the heatwave
in the heatwave
the sun burns through clouds
leaves azure blue skies
leaves azure blue skies
on the horizon darker
blue sea connects
blue sea connects
hot sand underfoot, palm trees
give us blesséd shade
give us blesséd shade
in which to work out the words
–my thirsty brain
my thirsty brain
in the outside world, inside
words dance all around
