She Was Paroles

when she was lost
she was a toad
the day I found her on the road
I gave her water and a rose
and as she stretched
the sun rose

go
go
go away

when she was young
she was a cow
and all day long
she milked the stars
she taught me
women to survive
must be unfaithful to their child
of all the wonders of the world
go
go
go away

when she was ill
she was a whale
she was so patient she would wait
until I sang her by the lane
the sweetest tunes to ease her pain

when she was old
she was an owl
I saw her swaying in the sky
and when she died inside my arms
I realised she was a cat

Go
Go
go away

sometimes I wonder
if my child
will have her eyes

to see through me

and when I die
and I am born again
what will I be
a cat?
a stone?
a tree?
