• INCOGNITO
               

            • The tigress of the underworld
              spoke to the coyotes of the past
              sung a tale of inner secrets
              riding high across the night
              She said, "My bones lie in waiting,
              you can see where they belong."
              Then I opened my own mouth
              and the signs leapt out
              Its a long awaited signal
              hidden in the wind
              I looked behind the inner sanctum
              A face lay there within
              And in the howling light
              I ventured into the unknown
              Fear drug me through the opening
              for my eyes longed to become
              Then she pieced me back together
              licked away the tears
              and said "Now go and live
              You've found yourself again."
