night feeding - muriel rukeyser lyrics

deeper than sleep but not so deep as death
i lay there dreaming and my magic head
remembered and forgot. on first cry i
remembered and forgot and did believe
i knew love and i knew evil:
woke to the burning song and the tree burning blind
despair of our days and the calm milk*giver who
knows sleep, knows growth, the s*x of fire and grass
renewal of all waters and the time of the stars
and the black snake with gold bones

black sleeps, gold burns; on second cry i woke
fully and gave to feed and fed on feeding
gold seed, green pain, my wizards in the earth
walked through the house, black in the morning dark
shadows grew in my veins, my bright belief
my head of dreams deeper than night and sleep
voices of all black animals crying to drink
cries of all birth arise, simple as we
found in the leaves, in clouds and dark, in dream
deep as this hour, ready again to sleep
