lyrics

Sister, we were once wound in indigo. Two cords wrapped around our necks. Could I but remember your face, your pressed apricot flesh, strange as a fish.

We were born in two eggs. With Castor and Pollux, in another egg. By a woman who wrapped her long legs
around a swan, that's how you got your face
that launched the ships, a thousand ships.

That silly man comes home with Kassandra. She sees me wrapped up in white cloth, but what do I care? I care.

Sister, you know the child I bore, and you know her lambswool hair. You know how he slit her throat (he cut it on the stone), to launch his ships, a thousand ships.
