Noche Del Guajolote

the glowing world, the bench backed up against the house
 the chicken coops the darkness surrounding everything
 it was late and the night was moving slowly
 we laid down on the ground because the world was lonely
 if you keep quiet it will stay like this forever
 if you just keep quiet it will stay like this forever
 i feel certain of it now
 and all the birds were sleeping in their perches
 the little wind, swaying birches
 and the north american wild turkey
 that your father brought home
 woke up and came towards us
 and the moonlight and the turkey waking up
 and the night air and the moonlight on your skin
 and the moonlight and the turkey waking up
 and the quiet yardand the turkey and the moon
 unimaginable
 unimaginable
 unimaginable
 unimaginable
