TIME MY ENEMY Blue o’clock in the morning, Indigo, lapis lazuli, A clock chimed green, Soft sages, jades, aquamarine, At twelve the sun did redden, Once crimson, rouge and cinnabar, Night grows so dark, Tar-black and jet and ebony, SEATS IN HEAVEN They’re selling seats in heaven, He said it was a bargain, We spilt the cost, we paid our fee, Yet as we neared Paradise, A burning gate, a flaming sword, It only then occurred to me, WORMS She had the general philosophy that young men who professed their love for her, You say that you love me? Your love is so shallow, She beat him over the head with his own baseball bat, You say that you love me, You squirm in my fingers, The worms welcomed her caress, enjoyed her titillation. You say that you love me? For if I was to love you, Until death, the worms promised. |
