Please come near me, will you hold me? I am leaking so very
badly! Will you stop up my holes?
If your answer is,
"No, I'm busy!" I will follow you out to the garden. I can
smell you from three miles away!
If your answer is,
"Get me dirty!" you can stop up my holes so nicely! I won't
leak anymore!
But if your answer is, "No, I'm
sleepy!" I will stare at your face with longing... I will chew
on your face.
And then the night comes like an
unfolding, unscented flower... I'll be sent away.
