from Involuntary Lyrics
XVII.
Go turn away baby faces
who’ve come
wailing to deride age
the sumptuous desserts
on pliable tongue
sweeten veering tomb
with syrup of rage
Several parts
on a breeze dispersal are song
for closing eyes
envisioned by slow time
How weary as fluffy graces
drift intravenous pile rhyme
on downy head where sleeping lies |
