Adrienne Rich - Tactile Value lyrics

From crush and splinter death in the market

Jeering robotic dry-ice disrupt

To conjure this: Perishing
Persistent script

Scratched-up smeared and torn

Let hair, nail cuttings
Nourish the vine and fig tree

Let man, woman eat, be sheltered

Marx the physician laid his ear
On the rhythmic heart

Felt the belly diagnosed the pain

Did not precisely write
Of lips roaming damp skin

Hand plunged in hair bed laughter
Mouth clasping mouth

(what we light with this coalspark
Leaving instantly in us if it continue)
