Baubo’s Dance

Between my legs there is a mind
Slower. Slower. Faster. Faster.

Spin with me and you will find
Roaring deep and wild laughter.

Join me here till we’ll learn blind.
Slower. Slower. Faster. Faster.

Join me here and we’ll learn blind.
Long. before. and after after.

Slower, slower, faster, faster,
Spin with me and you will find

Between my legs there is a mind
Long. before. and after after.
