I cannot recall how it happened.<\/i><\/p>\n

I was on fire, I do remember that
in my imagination a tropical sunset
enflamed, exultant, and for one shining
Hallelujah of an hour everything I touched ignited.<\/p>\n

You squeal your indignation through ruddy snouts:
It was a misfire, I swear it.
In the splendor of my exuberance
this was nothing I anticipated.<\/p>\n

Tell your handsome Captain
I will petition the Gods this very day.
I have grown old, absent minded in my solitude
my spells go astray.<\/p>\n

Be patient, dear ones.\u00a0 Meditate upon this dark,
Fertile squalor of sensuous mud you find yourself so horizontal in.
This low rooting through an odiferous cosmos of fragrant compost.<\/p>\n

Are you so undone by the base pleasure of it all?
This nosing, snorting self-knowing,
the delight of a half fermented carrot?
Never a sow smelt so sweetly fecund before
nor was love so simple.<\/p>\n

Surely we have become sleepy, half-drowned by the lethargy
of\u00a0 two-legged dignity.\u00a0 Consider this, if you will,
an interlude of primordial grace.<\/p>\n
