A Burning Kangaroo by Adrienne Rich Lyrics

leaping forward escaping
out of rock reamed
on sky
in violet shadow

leaping scorched to the skin

toward water
(none for miles)

Who did
(and can you see)
this thing
not as a dream

a kangaroo
not in profile either

Frontal
in flame no halo
no aura burning meat in movement
Can
you see with me
(unverified)
otherwise

(whoever did this thing)
