Poem For Today my favorite Lamento from Sea Lust

IXV

Ear of a sow

And a purple cow,

Dance, Devil, dance.

I care not for sorrow,

I grieve not in pain;

Always I’ll find tomorrow,

Underneath the cold night’s rain.

Rain that washes down the castle walls

Built so gently

Through the day.

Built on laughter

By nymphs at play;

As I lay watching

To snatch their joy,

Catch it quickly and carry away

Some of the madness the nymphs display.

Then I’ll dance and kick my heels

I will count the purple cows

Jumping over the frozen moon.

Until morning brings tomorrow,

Another castle to melt in the rain.
