Animal nuzzles up to my shoulder.
Sweats and grunts and pushes me over.
With its musty mane in my eyes
I`m closed off and protected.
Inside sleep together,
sleep within sleep,
it`s everywhere.
I`m safe, safe with the head of the animal.
Breathe on my breath,
there`s nothing else.
Gone world, gone.
When he wakes in all our red rooms,
next to pillows that scream `alone`,
and we`re shaking uncompleted,
aching for this creeping sleep
on which to ride away.
Sleep is the animal whose name is safety,
whose name is angel`s wings,
whose name is never will it happen to me,
whose arms are the longest the world will ever see,
whose voice is Jesus saying `innocence is the child`,
whose breath is warmth and the scent of safety and the taste of purity.
Animal flies me in a hollow in it`s belly
Until the world`s gone.
Inside a world inside a world inside a world without end
