I've been watching him for seven days His hands pale (hee-ho-hee-ho-hee-ho) knuckles moving beneath the skin foetuslike (hee-ho-hee-ho-hee-ho) I've caught seven foxes and placed them on the river bank each night I give him one (hee-ho-hee-ho-hee-ho) counting down the days till we are one and clothe his heart in fur (hee-ho-hee-ho-hee-ho) I sing of arms and the man his arms that wake each morning white-knuckled and that copy claw gestures 7 6 5 7 6 5 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 and here I go... I take him in I take this body whole so thin like a spine (hee-ho-hee-ho-hee-ho) I thread him on inside of mine and we are one and we are one (hee-ho-hee-ho-heeeee-ho) and his is the fur at last I see his eyes inside my mouth even when he sneaks into my bones forever unborn now finally I am a mother (finallyIamamotherhee-ho-hee-ho-hee-ho)
