Erica Jong - Tachycardia

Erica Jong - Tachycardia

In the chest is caged bat br who seeks escape br through the mouth. br br He flaps his wings br & the molars shiver. br br He flaps his wings br & the thyroid bulges br like a snake br that has swallowed br a mouse. br br He flaps his wings br uttering shrill cries br heard only by the ears br of the teeth. br br He wants to soar br into the great world. br He is blind br as a bat. br br You must convince him br that the chest br is a cradle br & a room br with a view. br br Past the tonsils br lies terror. br br Past the teeth br lies death. br Past the lips br lie lies, br br lies, lies.
