The Observer
Completely protected on all sides by volcanoes a woman, darkhaired, in stained jeans sleeps in central Africa. In her dreams, her notebooks, still private as maiden diaries, the mountain gorillas move through their life term; their gentleness survives observation. Six bands of them inhabit, with her, the wooded highland. When I lay me down to sleep unsheltered by an natural guardians Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com from the panicky life-cycle of my tribe I wake in the old cellblock observing the daily executions, rehearsing the laws I cannot subscribe to, envying the pale gorilla-scented dawn she wakes into, the stream where she washes her hair, the camera-flash of her quiet eye.
