Cherry cherry	A
glowing on the hearth	B
bright red cherry	A
When you try to pick up cherry	A
Celia's shriek	C
sticks in you like a pin	D
	-
	-
	-
When God throws hailstones	E
you cuddle in Celia's shawl	F
and press your feet on her belly	A
high up like a stool	G
When Celia makes umbrella of her hand	H
Rain falls through	I
big pink spokes of her fingers	J
When wind blows Celia's gown up off her legs	K
she runs under pillars of the bank	L
great round pillars of the bank	L
have on white stockings too	I

Celia says my father	M
will bring me a golden bowl	N
When I think of my father	M
I cannot see him	O
for the big yellow bowl	N
like the moon with two handles	P
he carries in front of him	O
	-
	-
	-
Grandpa grandpa	Q
Light all about you	I
ginger pouring out of green jars	R
You don't believe he has gone away and left his great coat	S
so you pretend you see his face up in the ceiling	T
When you clap your hands and cry grandpa grandpa grandpa	Q
Celia crosses herself	U

It isn't a dream	V
It comes again and again	W
You hear ivy crying on steeples	P
the flames haven't caught yet	X
and images screaming	T
when they see red light on the lilies	Y
on the stained glass window of St Joseph	Z
The girl with the black eyes holds you tight	A2
and you run and run	B2
past the wild wild towers	J
and trees in the gardens tugging at their feet	C2
and little frightened dolls	D2
shut up in the shops	E2
crying and crying because no one stops	E2
you spin like a penny thrown out in the street	C2
Then the man clutches her by the hair	F2
He always clutches her by the hair	F2
His eyes stick out like spears	G2
You see her pulled back face	H2
and her black black eyes	I2
lit up by the glare	F2
Then everything goes out	J2
Please God don't let me dream any more	K2
of the girl with the black black eyes	I2
	-

Celia's shadow rocks and rocks	L2
and mama's eyes stare out of the pillow	M2
as though she had gone away	N2
and the night had come in her place	H2
as it comes in empty rooms	O2
you can't bear it	P2
the night threshing about	J2
and lashing its tail on its sides	Q2
as bold as a wolf that isn't afraid	R2
and you scream at her face that is white as a stone on a grave	S2
and pull it around to the light	A2
till the night draws backward the night that walks alone	T2
and goes away without end	U2
Mama says I am cold Betty and shivers	J
Celia tucks the quilt about her feet	C2
but I run for my little red cloak	V2
because red is hot like fire	M
	-
	-
	-
I wish Celia	W2
could see the sea climb up on the sky	X2
and slide off again	W
Celia saying	T
I'd beg the world with you	I
Celia holding on to the cab	Y2
hands wrenched away	N2
wind in the masts like Celia crying	T
Celia never minded if you slapped her	M
when the comb made your hairs ache	Z2
but though you rub your cheek against mama's hand	H
she has not said darling since	A3
Now I will slap her again	W
I will bite her hand till it bleeds	B3
	-
It is cool by the port hole	N
The wet rags of the wind	C3
flap in your face	H2
