The Ladder
ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO
I'd climb a ladder just to see you
I have no eyes but I can feel
Two snakes entwined so I can be you
This ladder climbs from me to you
La Bufadora will explode soon
In liquid splendor sculptured trees
Amongst the oaks the shapes are shifting
A shift to meld you into me
Let's sleep away the pain we suffer
The medicine is in our dreams
Fly away like Caracas
This ladder climbs from me to you
