Mother

(translation to: mutter)

The tears of a crowd of very old children
I string them on a white hair
I throw the wet chain into the air
And wish that i had a mother
No sun shines for me
There was no breast that cried milk
There is a tube that sticks in my throat
I have no navel on my stomach

Mother

I was not allowed to lick any nipples
And there was no fold to hide in
No one gave me a name
Fathered in haste and without sperm
I have sworn tonight
For the mother that never gave birth to me
I will send her a sickness
And afterwards let her sink in the river

Mother An eel lives in her lungs
On my forehead, a birthmark
I remove it with the kiss of a knife
Even if it causes me to die

Mother

An eel lives in her lungs
On my forehead, a birthmark
I remove it with the kiss of a knife
Even if it causes me to bleed to death

Mother
Oh give me strength
