Rockabye

We're eating jellyfish

We're crashing oranges

We're bleeding evidence

We're smashing elements

*

We're erecting animals

We're subtracting syllables

We're electing cannibals

We're extracting visceral

*

We're worshipping magicians for a piece of the pie

We're recruiting musicians for a sound from on high

We're creating beauticians for a smack on the thigh

We're repeating contritions for an act un-divine

*

We're poking and prodding as we sing lullabies

We're rocking and rolling as she shifts to the side

We're planting and plowing as the baby lays quiet

We're twisting and shouting from the vat where we writhe

*

Rockabye baby, you've sure grown up fast

Let me embrace you, before I suffocate you

Rockabye baby, you've sure grown up fast

Let me cradle you, before I blast you away
