Reaching Out
Bush Kate
The Sensual World
Reaching Out
See how the child reaches out instrictively
To feel how fire will feel.
See how the man reaches out instrictively
For what he cannot have.
The pull and the push of it all.
Reaching out for the hand
Reaching out for the hand that smacked
Reaching out for the hand to hold.
Reaching out for the Star
Reaching out for the Star that explodes
Reaching out for Mama.
See how the flower leans instrictively toward the light
See how the heart reaches out instrictively
For no reason but to touch.
The pull and the Push of it all
Reaching out for the hand
Reaching out for the hand that smacked
Reaching out for the hand to hold.
Reaching out for the Star
Reaching out for the Star that explodes
Reaching out for Mama.
(Can't we see..............)
Reaching out for Mama.
