Caught by the heart in borrowed skin
I have neither wish nor need to escape
As queen of the highway stone age
Devouring a particular Ocean State of Mind
For all days remaining in my dusk-eared soul
Impressed by our fangs and concept of forever
Easily adapting to their coffee syrup for my milk
Bow-running warming threads to show their heart
Its due in sobering chartreuse; c'est nous amour
Sharing sparks with the tongue of a comet after impact
Aftercare for those changed by the sight of fate
Hand-in-hand-in-canvas with a child of Ham by way of Éire
Blanched, entranced, and wholly besotted whilst the surroundings
Compress their inklings into pearls that taste and share
As we do, as we enjoy, as we fill our hearts with joys
Incomparable to the lies of normalcy fed to us before escape
From fear of tomorrows and embrace of peculiarity and compassion;
No number of coronations could explain how I love this moon
To a sea tidally bound to pare down its maelstrom and mist
For innumerable dawns, for curtains of starred ink, for the rosy sands of every-when
Provided by the Godhead as a courtesy to a raven with a writing desk
Always wanting it darker than proscribed by wisdoms saner than mere eyes
Dare I go forth into leaves and skies with a temple in my heart
Clambering infinite suites of burgeoning colours with affectionate sacramental mosses
Hearkening, signifying, proclaiming that the anchor has dropped to partner this island
With its central timing, with its contrapuntal soul
Infernia profunda clasped by their hair
Merry is the way forth for Sir and Madame Butterflies
Upon this blue marble do we commemorate
Our accidental paradise
