Homeopathic - Mariee Sioux

Beastly ball of fire all rolling in shame

A rattlesnake in the nest

No legs, no eggs, no blame

You hold a lake in each hand

One is for skating on, one for drowning in

There’s frozen wings in your bed

As you sleep outlined in white ghost

Like your soul been rolling in sheep

Or had been wrapped up in birch bark

Like a gift for the end when it finally finds me

A mummy tree woman

Becoming

Mummy tree women

Scream

Screamin'

Screamin'

Homeopathic

Stereostatic

Heroes in helmets

Hummingbirds swarm the attic

Trying so hard to explain

But I can speak only in wool

Might I knit from this mouth a train of cool water?

For almonds I have seen your eyes

So delicate your light

Like a toothless bite

Alien and as humble as a newt

So sweet you almost killed me

Like poisonous honey

Mummy tree woman

Becoming

Mummy tree women

Scream

Screamin'

Homeopathic

Stereostatic

Heroes in helmets

Hummingbirds swarm the attic

Beautifully bruised when it kicked you with its hooves

A headless stallion the color of a black rose

A mole chews vigorously at my side

While smoldering like a burning insect

Innards have dried into wreaths and rattles

Let’s meet at the Madrone’s cradle

Making landscapes out of felt

We will learn about

Succession

Succession

When a pond turns to a meadow

A fawn into a raven

A pond into a meadow

A fawn into a raven

Oh, Raven

Oh, Raven

Oh, Raven

Oh, Raven
