In this dream I’m on a tight rope
and I’m tipping back and forth
trying to keep my balance.
And below me are all my relatives,
and if I fall I’ll crush them.
This line, this bloodline,
the only thing that binds me
to the turning world below and
all the people and noise and songs and shouts.
This long thin line, this song line, this shout.
This thing tightrope, this tightrope made of sound.
This tightrope, so thin,
made of my own blood.
