Curiouser
Susan McKeown

Furious, you can go furious
With your reds and your greens and your velvet aquarian dreams
Now see how low you go to a place where things are only what they seem

Sweetly bitterly quietly ducking
Close your eyes when you go down
Sweetly bitterly steadily rocking
You only want to come when you're down

Deep darkening heart blood is boiling and it's soiling sensual black art
Witching someone is stitching softly humming isn't coming and it's soon to fall apart

Cunning you can go running with your pride and your pain
And your o so personal gain
See how they run and you'll keep their strings dancing untill your game is done
