If I Were a Swan Lyrics by Kevin Puts

2012

I would ride highabove my own white
Weight. I would ride
Through the lightening
Of the earth
And the darkening
Stillness and turbulence
Coming on in the core
Of me, and spreading
To the hard rain
To the dazzle. Leaves
Would turn, but I
Would keep my eyes
In my head, watching
For grasses. This
Is what I would know
Deeply: the feathering
Of my bones
Against the bank
For the rest
I would be the easiest
Wave, loving just enough
For nature's sake
The world would move
Under me and I would always be exactly
Where I am, dragonflies
Angling around my head
Under the black mask
Of my face, I would think
Swan, swan
Which would be nothing
But a riding, a hunger
A ruffle more pointed
Than wind and waves
And a hot-orange
Beak like an arrow
