Another Day in the Garden
Teach us another Ha-prayer, Francesca,
The same as all the other Ha-prayers.
The Empress has know-clothes,
And dances like a Fool,
The naked Universe laughing.
Do a Ha-prayer before a Ha-prayer
To prepare for a Ha-prayer.
Ha Ha Ha:
You are the prayer.
Fetch me coruscating pink possibility,
The living of insane interpretation.
Vampire faerie rose-bud,
"Dammit, love me and
"The sewer-stench fertile return."
And you have to say,
"O.K., O.K.,
"I accept it all:
"I am a broken lawn-gnome,
"But I will embrace the Goddess."
And She would have to say,
"I love lawn-gnomes!
"I will set you in my Garden,
"And you will be my favorite."
And so you stand in the Garden
With all Her favorites,
A single apple from the Tree of Life
Dangling 3.5 centimeters
From your cast-iron hand.
Someday I will bite
That juicy-sweetness.
