 MY HEART GRIEVES
                   
 My heart grieves
 My heart grieves
                        
 I walk the veranda and draw my fingers
 over the taut skin of night
            
 The lamp of connection is dark
 The lamp of connection is dark
            
 No one will introduce me
 to the sun
 No one will take me to the party of sparrows
           
 Bear the flight in mind
 The bird must die
