M Petty toothless fishhounds
crying 'Give us Sanctuary'
Old green paupers
Singing on a street corner
hare hare krishna
knock knock
who's there?
Wait!
Don't answer the door
Look through the peephole
who could it be?
Blue veiled eyes
searing into me
distorted fish lens image
San Francisco Bay
Colors, lights, dressed up evil
Dancing to steal the day
Black currant nights melt
into neon mornings
But Stop!
Too late
it's already begun
only thing to do is
run run run
Sheild your eyes from the sun
it's turning green with rage
Turn your head from the moon
old and withered age
languid winter moon
pale diamond shadow
a delicate whisper
of deathless beauty
To the end of the earth
the colors are dead
just keep on running
don't lose your head
There's a light ahead!
Hope!
A great red wall
dancing images of fire
jingly merrily to the
beat beat beat
of a soldier home from the war
horns and clarinets
they greet me home
dance through the wall
break the images fire
Victory!
And we are through
'I am the Queen'
I declare
'I am the King'
I have lived in this fruitless valley
more years than is countable
I have come back home to you
I have tasted victory
I have tasted blood
I have danced with the nymphs
I have drunken their sweet wine
their clear cool water
I have wandered through feilds
of daisy and plums
of reds and greens
and corals and aquas
I am the Queen
I declared
I am the King.
