i know i must have
must be
from mars, must have
must be
must have come from
somewhere
special,
better, but decaying
and rotten, and upset:
this big angry
black 'i don't remember'
this big angry
white emptiness,
this big angry
'i don't remember'
this
'what and
who
are you?'

(i came from the
swamp,
i came from the
sky, i came from
the air, from the
fire:
i am everything
that people
aren't,
my teeth are
more like fangs)

i know there's
humanity,
somewhere
in my bones

i know i have
a home,
i know i have
a name
and a face,
but i can't
remember
what it is

(i am a
banshee,
i'm *******
screaming
and
somebody's
gonna die,
tonight)
