I had a love hysteria
that became deep.
In the flat field
I saw a lion
and holy smoke!
I was burning
from the inside,
yet unshattered…
the sky’s gone out.
Should the world
fail to fall apart,
I’ll wear a mask
and kerchief
for the dust from
the wild birds.
Please
press the eject
and give me
the tape.
I hear it crackle
and cascade.
There are secret bees
that will arrive on the ninth.
After 35 years,
oh dear Mr. Moonlight!
I go away white,
knowing it was
just for love
