Soliloquy for Strings
Or'phistic ruts carved in overlain mud.
This is how my love learns to love.
Chide me sweetly in the sanitarium,
O Punchinello Thee
In whose canopy of Autumnal daydream
and netherworld nightscapes
I do swoon to airless blue,
and blush
A timeless stream of blushing
For you
for you.
Opal, you know, is the color of my cracked tongue
bent backwards upon itself
to taste the airs
of antique song,
For want of an elegant phrase
Or anysuch turn thereof.
Say it anyway,
Love come from a time gone by
to blow us clean away and by and by.
Shall we dance instead, Oh Dearest,
in the vines of circumstance,
or swing to the defiance,
delightfully on hemp-ropes of repose
suspended from hanging gardens
of glass romance
Un-til the lights of love again do bless
and shine and whirl
beauty high
in the ever-fine sky?
Hither thee Dearest and do sigh
In-to the mic, alright,
Piping from Olympus on high and out
over land and sea
'Til impatient eyes see it true and through
Shall we fandango here in the rains
of forever ?
Shall we sail along the green and silver
bands of the bent lifestream
here in starlight and
silent splendor ?
Illuminate in the anguish O improper Angels you,
Apropos to each twisted angle of the heart
adrift atop thee flood o' foolishness besides
her wandering mind and mine
within the blue Lethe deep,
- though mostly without. O You,
Batty Pierrot with eyes brimful wide,
shall we seesaw in seasong of vampiric night?
Shall we pantomime the Decadentismo? say,
shall we delightfully & everso
queer thee preposterity of it all?
Rise in reprise; always up to pull away
from the masque that wears a thousand mournful faces
down between the cracks in mirrored mine
- and up from the fathomless front
where ice puts kiss to fire
to make not water but arsenic
which pours from you while I drink,
with only modest pangs,
I drink it every droplet.
