SACRED HEART

Poor gorillas, poor,

and even the hated and miraculous,

whose tongues have children

whose feet water their plants,

and even the hated

vanished in the ground,

a song for disaster,

and all we do

recorded in the blood of roots,

and people who this is a song of love for,

a song of cruelty,

a song for those who come after

who believe that life conquers disaster,

and all we do recorded in the blood.
