Straddling the Stone Wall Part 3: Ode to Mr. Nichol Lyrics

I have a coral reef in my gut

A forest of beech trees on my head

And a constellation in my eyeball

As such, you just might see the universe

When we meet

I host the skin of the earth on my fingernail

Moons revolve around my nipples every night

I have a glacier in my heart

And when I'm really lucky, a bird in my throat

So I can sing a proper ode to the ode

What does the hair on my big toe know

Of joy and of grief?

Likely more and less than I imagine
