The octopi have come to the jungle They're making a nest next to the lioness Who lies at their tentacles of shells
A fence of steel is built around them By four riverboat fishermen Whose silver spearguns sparkle like tiny suns That shoot planets in the sky
I'm awed by the spectacle As the octopi's fat tentacles massage my body That has lay down separate from my soul To erase my sins A devilfishes' table of delight
Look, the nest is floating away And I'm clutching a tentacle of the big one
MIGUEL! MIGUELL!
He is diving With the gracefulness of a porpoise Deep into five giant oysters
He is the virgin mother turned whore He is their infant of collapsed dreams He is the veil of secrets I never want to give away He is the only man and the only woman
I am looking for the road Where the color of your eyes is deep Where you are again swimming through the coral reefs Where your feet dance ballets For the lioness that sleeps in my mother
I am remembering visions of you I am searching beyond the stars and planets
