My wife has a head of smoke My wife has a leg of flame My wife has a hand of bone My wife has a silent name My husband walks upon the walls My husband is ten miles tall My husband is the atmosphere My husband is a living prayer My daughter sleeps up in the trees My daughter is a complex creed My daughter keeps a shaft of light My daughter moves in degrees of might My son has invisible eyes My son laughs as though he cries My son maintains a perpetual stride My son wanders in dreams at night
My sister waits behind the moon My sister binds her mind in books My sister's voice must crush the sun My sister snaps the shepherd's crook My brother's face is a hexagon My brother revolves at increasing speed My brother heals as he harms My brother decries what he has decreed My mother excretes a reality My mother puts her torch to sleep My mother spreads her ribcage wide To guide the trumpet blast inside My father is my mother's bride My father resides in rocks and stones My father has fins and wings and claws My father is my husband's throne.
