i danced before i had two feet
sang before i had a tongue. i laughed before i had two eyes. loved before my heart was young. i swam before i had two hands
and held the distance in my toes. before i heard the stars i knew
the wild compulsion of the rose. i bore the fruits of many lies. before i came into this day. i knew before my grave was made
the worms eat only death away
i danced before i had two feet
