“My heart and my flesh sing”
By Sean Singer
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
—Zechariah 12:2
Is a lucky ting I never get swell-headed ...
I will never run away.
—Burning Spear, “Swell Headed”
First, I took off my jacket,
then my shirt, pants,
shoes, underwear, then
my skin, then my muscles,
then my veins, nerves, cartilage,
then I took off my bones.
Finally I stood there
where no one has ever seen me.
