Set a trap. Set a trap and stand back. Whistle when it springs. When it springs, i'll come dig in. Is anybody in the yard, on the roof,  in my bed, in my head? A frenzy of hunger, too hollow and blind not to follow us all home, and on the way the landmines are undetectable, predictable as air,  we're unprotectable. Is anybody in the yard, on the roof,  in my bed, in my head? Is everybody loving me, on the floor, bleeding out, lock the door.  Hover over a cloudless sky, no trigger, no tripwire,  I'm suspended just above the fray, upended anyway, so set a trap, stand back, whistle when it springs, I'll come, I'll come, I'll come dig in. Is anybody in the yard, on the roof,  in my bed, in my head? Is everybody loving me, on the floor, bleeding out, lock the door.  Afraid to look, afraid to go, afraid to ask, afraid to know - the tension makes me whole. afraid to see, afraid to feel afraid to blink, afraid to think - the tension makes me whole. Is anybody loving me?

Snap back, the heat stings like ice. Time slows so we move faster underneath our skin. Inside, the path is frictionless.  We slip again, no footing on this fictional device. I chase your love, a bird, a deer, my dear, I dare to hold my hand so still, and still you wince, a tiny tremor travels,  chases you away. Outside, your fur stands on end. Come back, retract your claws,  hide your teeth in watering jaws. I chase your love, a bird, a deer, my dear, I dare to hold my hand so still, and still you wince,  a tiny tremor travels, chasing you... My breath betrays my body  charged with love and hate and heat and sorrow. Hold my hand so still, and still you smell the animal I am.
