1227

desideratum

something new in words that were

a picture never seen before  

and all the story in it --  

the place beyond day’s care

otherwise in other worlds

this is what I live for   

fun!

must be monstrous sometimes

crowded with creatures past and to come  

sometimes we let ourselves

fall for a thing   

terrible deeds are done

so easily, in other words  

where, may I make you see?

and if I tell the bells

the birds that wake me

sung to dusk

I know you’ll smell their lice, their shit  

all sorts of things are less than fair

come then under this spell I’m casting

know what you’ve not known before

we can’t tell how yet, what it will be

I want to take you there
