this is my all-time favourite,

Tori Amos's Carbon

carbon-made found her at the end of a chain
"time to race", she said, "race the downhill!"

Behind crystalline irises loons can dive
where the world bleeds white

just keep your eyes on her
keep, don't look away
keep your eyes on her horizon

Bear Claw, Free Fall, a Gunner's View
black and blue
shred in ribbons of lithium

blow by blow, her mind cut in sheets
layers deep, now unraveling

just keep your eyes on her
keep, don't look away
keep your eyes on her horizon

get me Neil on the line, no i can't hold
have him read 'Snow Glass Apples" where nothing is what it seems

"Little Sis, you must crack this", he says to me. "You must go in again. Carbon-made only wants to be unmade."

blade to ice, it's Double Diamond time

and keep your eyes on her
keep, don't look away
keep your eyes on her eyes, on her horizon
on her eyes, on her horizon
