Dionysus In Retrograde
I broke in
To the heart of a friend
(I'm beginning to see
The key was civility
Crumbs of buildings
In her pocket
Bread of where we lived...)
*
Kabuki escargot.
Spanish Dublin.
Eiffel Tower succulent.
Abject perennial.
*
Mistake: Covetous of the tactile
Not mystified.
*
Christ, your
Ghost. Christ
Your ghost.
Christ of
Appointed muscle.
Cleptomania.
Apollo
At the opera
Wishing
He
Could
Just
Scream...
*
Now the hills themselves are dancing.
Heart so still makes it simple to conceal.
It's a memory or a history, a mystery
Or a thrill to discover the ill antidote
Heals itself (Now the mind curls around
Ear, bald time and the stubble of moments,
Slouching beard and a belly full of reason.
Treason to know it, but there are no rules.
Wasn't that the point?
The revelry of fools...

And myself
Maybe if I was taught
Karl Jung
younger
I wouldn't
know no
better
self realization
but patient virtue
And in doing so
Sow
like wild raspberries
sour liquor
