Through the binoculars of time Beyond pastels of sweet mint crème With bits of earthdust trailing forth A starlet from an angel’s dream A flagon of flame the dragons She tames regale her fiery mane Jump in the pools of the golden Thread spools and retrace her lover’s lane The clouds spell a spiral staircase The steps are high as if for child I must find my way two by two Into the boat naked she smiled And days can pass forever down To the last inch found in the worm That I stepped on and split in half There’s two of one serving this term Ashore on the sweet lays of Abandon Alone and never to see The two shells that still will play The ballad of my mistress and me [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 11-03-2000).] |
