    An American Prayer / Hour For Magic / Freedom Exists / A Feast Of Friends

    Do you know the warm progress
    Under the stars?

    Do you know we exist?

    Have you forgotten the keys
    To the kingdom

    Have you been borne yet
    & are you alive?

    Let's reinvent the gods, all teh myths
    Of the ages

    Celebrate symbols from deep elder forests

    (Have you forgotten the lessons
    Of the ancient war)

    We need great golden copulations

    The fathers are cackling in trees
    Of the forest

    Our mother is dead in the sea

    Do you know we are being led to
    Slaughters by placid admirals

    & that fat slow generals are getting
    Obscene on young blood

    Do you know we are ruled by T.V.

    The moon is dry blood beast

    Guerrilla bands are rolling numbers
    In the next block of green vine

    Amassing for warfare on innocent
    Herdsman who are just dying

    O great creator of being

    Grant us one more hour to
    Perform our art
    & perfect our lives

    The moths & atheists are doubly divine
    & dying

    We live, we die
    & death not ends it

    Journey we more into the
    Nightmare
    Cling to life
    Our passion'd flower

    Cling to Cunts & cocks
    Of despair

    We got our final vision
    By clap

    Columbus groin got
    Filled w/ green death

    (I touched her thigh
    & death smiled)

    We have assembled inside this ancient
    & insane theatre

    To propagate our lust for life
    & flee the swarming wisdom
    Of the streets

    The barns are stormed

    The windows kept

    & only one of all the rest

    To dance & save us

    W/ the divine mockery
    Of words

    Music inflames temperament

    (When the true King's murderers

    Are allowed to roam free

    A 1000 Magicians arise in the land)

    Where are the feasts

    We are promised

    Where is the wine
    The New Wine
    (dying on the vine)
    Resident mockery
    Give us an hour for magic
    We of the purple glove
    We of the starling flight
    & velvet hour
    We of arabic pleasures's breed
    We of sundome & the night

    Give us a creed

    To believe

    A nightr of lust

    Give us trust in

    The Night

    Give of color

    Hundred hues

    A rich mandala

    For me & for you

    & for your silky

    Pillowed house

    A head, wisdom

    & a bed

    Troubled decree

    Resident mockery

    Has claimed thee

    We used to believe

    In the good old days

    We still receive

    In little ways

    The things of Kindness

    & unsporting brow

    Forget & allow

    Did you know freedom exists
    In school books

    Did you know madmen are
    Running our prisons

    W/in a jail, w/in a gaol
    W/in a white free protestant
    Maelstrom

    We're perched headlong
    On the edge of boredom

    We're reaching for death
    On the end of a candle

    We're trying for something
    That's already found us

    Wow, I'm sick of doubt
    Live in the light of certain
    South

    Cruel bindings

    The sevants have the power

    Dog-men & their mean women
    Pulling poor blankets over
    Our sailors

    I'm sick of dour faces
    Starong at me from the T.V.

    Tower, I want roses in
    My garden bower; dig?

    Royal babies, rubies
    Must now replace aborted

    Strangers in the mud

    These mutants, blood-meal
    For the plant that's plowed
    They are waiting to take us into
    The severed garden

    Do you know how pale & wanton thrillful
    Comes death on a stranger hour
    Unannounced, unplanned for

    Like a scaring over-friendly guest you've
    Brought to bed

    Death makes angels of us all
    & gives us wings
    Where we had shoulders
    Smooth as raven's
    Claws

    No more money, no more fancy dress
    This other kingdom seems by far the best
    Until its other jaw reveals incest
    & loose obedience to a vegetable law

    I will not go
    Prefer a feast of friends
    To the Giant family
