Listen:
It is true you deserve to die
Some stuffed gull suspended
Above the benefit dinner
A miracle knew you
Made you human
Whatever you touched grew more like itself
Unsatisfied with itself
(So you touched it all)
And this they called the Lambada
Explained the boy
When he crawled on top
Your sick front admit it
Vaguely affected by the tide
And emptied
How quickly a house
Falls into disarray
Not knowing a dance
Could be survived
Or a grip so easily
Unfastened
Torn as you were at the root
