He came from me, she said
___no longer afraid of the flame
___ and huddled close,
___a house cat and builder at once
And he was so pretty, she said
Looked like me; he would
Sing dance run
And one day, one day
___tail wondering, forgetting to forget
One day he was sad
And then he stopped
Singing dancing running
I tried to make him but he wouldn't
And he fell off his bones, she said
___while the fire danced for her like her dead son
Fell off his bones...
Why did that happen? she asked me
___asked the fire
Why did he stop?
___and I was silent
___yes, I was the silent one.
