Bone to Bone
At the Beginning
That’s so much better
We’ve saved ourselves from the flesh
Now we’ll do what we’ll do
Say something
Would you like to be
The backbone of lightning
Say a bit more
What can I say
Hipbone of a storm
Say something else
That’s all I know
Ribs of heaven
We’re nobody’s bones
Say something else
After the Beginning
What shall we do now
That’s a good one
Now we’ll have marrow for supper
We had marrow for lunch
A hollow feeling nags my innards
Then let’s make music
We like music
What do we do when the dogs come
They like bones
We’ll stick in their throats
And love it
In the Sun
It’s nice to sunbathe naked
I never cared much for the flesh
Those rags never fooled me either
I go crazy about you naked
Don’t let the sun caress you
Let’s just love each other
Only please here not in the sun
Everything can be seen here dear bone
Under the Ground
Muscle of darkness muscle of flesh
It’s all the same thing
Well what now
We’ll call to bones of all ages
We’ll climb to the sun
What then
Then we’ll grow pure
Keep on growing just as we please
What about after
Nothing we’ll go everywhere
We’ll be eternal bone-beings
Just wait for the earth to yawn
In the Moonlight
What’s going on
It’s as if flesh snowlike flesh
Were sticking to me
I don’t know what it is
It’s as if marrow flows through me
Some bone-chilling marrow
I don’t know either
It’s as if all is starting again
With a terrifying beginning
Do you know what
Can you bark
Before the End
Where do we go now
Where could nowhere
Two bones go otherwise
What’s there to do
There for a long time
No one and his wife nothing
Have yearned for us to come
What do they need us for
They are old and have no bones
We’ll be their loving daughters
At the End
I’m a bone you’re a bone
Why did you swallow me
I can’t see myself anymore
What’s wrong with you
It’s you who’ve swallowed me
I can’t see myself either
Where am I now
Now no one knows any more
Who is who or where
It’s all an ugly dream of dust
Can you hear me
I can hear both you and myself
A hellebore is crowing out of us
