Noche del Guajolote

The glowing world, the bench backed up against the house

The chicken coops, the darkness surrounding everything

It was late and the night was moving slowly

We laid down on the ground because the world was lonely

If you keep quiet it will stay like this forever

If you'll just keep quiet it will stay like this forever

I feel certain of it now

And all the birds were sleeping in their perches

The little wind swaying birches

And the north American wild turkey that your father

brought home

Woke up and came toward us

And the moonlight and the turkey waking up

And the night air and the moonlight on your skin

And the moonlight and the turkey waking up

And quiet yard and the turkey and the moon

Unimaginable

Unimaginable

Unimaginable

Unimaginable
