Spiderbite

One, two, three

All the animals in the trees

Have their games and devices

And our bones be

In the forests of memory

Where the animals bury us

Down underwater and underground

You feel me like the branches beneath your feet

Like the bones in your shoulders

Or possibly like the spiderbite in your sleep

Like the kiss your remember from a dream

And I feel your terrible beauty

In the world that's surrounding me

I see this unbearable beauty in the light all around me

One two three

All the evidence points to me

But there's no way of knowing

And the jury is the bottomless angry sea

Are the leaves blowing off of the trees

And I feeled this terrible beauty

Like a song coming out of me

I stopped when I heard singing ring through the trees

And the voices around me said,

"All of the world sings inside you.

All of your love and your lies, too.

And you can't be afraid anymore."
