Running running bright plain mane-toss and sweet regret where the rivers flow like me warm earth of station-deck cold metal sun ring-chime of years woven now into one fabric of always from birth until death and I compass all time in one alien breath
Empty open inside feel all the secret paths only gods can know like me ripples spread out from velocity swell pale fragrant glimmer of gravity well atoms ignite in their hydrogen dance and I take it all in in one alien glance
Fallen falling down slow down to Chanur's hall and Geran no that was long ago like me scattered and patterns and thought's quickened pace the jaws of the hunter-ship snap into place anchor me Tully for here I must stand where you pin me to now with your alien hand
Kura Kita Iji all spirals twist around down gravity where they have to go like me stretching cold corridor eaten inside red lights and time dump and vector and Pride wake up you sleepers put time and space by and you'll learn all the truth from one alien's lie
