Nun

[00:00.31] Her gilded hand, her emerald nails
[00:14.06] Her palm at the center of it
[00:20.89] A little velvet box of jewels
[00:27.87] Ruby, lava, blood
[00:41.60] The eyelid against the sun
[00:47.25] Silk-stretched, tough like a drum
[00:54.70] Her needlework, her bleeding thumb
[01:01.61] The steeple and the chapel and the nun
[01:09.40] Her charismata, gift of healing
[01:18.62] Gift of miracles, gift of prophecy
[01:24.72] And different kind of tongues to speak, to taste
[01:33.40] To lick, to flick like a snake against an apple
[01:47.13]
