You are turning me
like someone turning a globe in her hand,
and yes, I have another side like a China no one,
not even me, has ever seen.
So describe to me what's there,
say what you are looking at
and I will close my eyes so I can see it too,
the oxcarts and all the lively flags.
I love the sound of your voice like a little saxophone
telling me what I could never know
unless I dug a hole all the way down
through the core of myself.
