Foot Hand Fire Pocket Ocean Water Sand
Foot Hand Fire Pocket Ocean Water Sand
I took your hand off
Here, a foot in a door,
A doorstop, and an ocean
In a winter in February.
I took that whole remembrance
And I put it in my pocket.
Then I took my pocket
And put it ‘round your hand.
Then I got your hand,
And sewn it to your foot,
And foot your hand
Through my fire pocket,
That ocean’s red sand.
Now I’ve got this thing
Half foot, half hand,
Wrapped in a pocket
In a bottle
In the sand.
I rubbed it on my body
‘Cause I knew you were away,
And it sanded me down
And it slaked in my gums,
The seam of your foot-hand burned and dripped
All over me and I
Loved it. I open my mouth for it
Every day.
