A Good Year Down

字號(hào):


     New York will not accept me at this weight &
     Mothers of the disappeared don‘t come ’round
     Here anymore. I said you‘re housekeeping aren’t you
     With Lipton tea stains & the Establishment
     Seriously attracted. He said: No
     I‘m turning down the beds. Now it’s my turn
     In bed with a beautiful American rage
     Like brunettes with night sweats. My love
     Semiprecious & stoned
     In the shoulder season we hold on
     Though I am dismal & have no dope
     Siphoned off behind pink Easter
     I fake an optimism
     Just to breathe—Just thinking of him for once &
     The Wandering Jew that ate my sunshine
     But I know flowers like Zorro was my dad
     Those garlands of thin hissing lasers
     So with the “sexy isotherms
     Of semiotics“ we meet again at the Kiev
     To check chemistry. They bring the lights
     Down on those cherry pies & like cryogenics
     It sorta works. This time my love
     The salt doll of night egging us on
     Straight to the zeppelin mooring
     With she-has-a-bit-of-the-neardamned-in-her-
     Like-when-a-cloud-dies construed as
     Well, all right, I‘ve seen worse.
