I am Lyric—I am free
A polar wish gave birth to me glittering one winter night
My heart makes love in the wall of atomic submarines
Glittering my name is whispered in nautical steamers
Presidents love me as they love their best captains winter nights
I glitter
I look them all in the hearts
Thunder booms in the icebergs
I am also a very northerly totem pole winter nights
When I go to sleep with my glitter
I throw three witches on the floor
They utter low shrieks
They come back again. I love my glitter
But also like the witches
I fill their bellies with all my tales
We puzzle, decipher, encipher
Six translators—forty-two book reviewers
I drank coffee and was still the same person
I am Lyric—I am free A polar wish gave birth to me glittering one winter night My heart makes love in the wall of atomic submarines Glittering my name is whispered in nautical steamers Presidents love me as they love their best captains winter nights I glitter I look them all in the hearts Thunder booms in the icebergs I am also a very northerly totem pole winter nights When I go to sleep with my glitter I throw three witches on the floor They utter low shrieks They come back again. I love my glitter But also like the witches I fill their bellies with all my tales We puzzle, decipher, encipher Six translators—forty-two book reviewers I drank coffee and was still the same person
