The Knight's Dream



pour over my tarot book

pour over my heart slashed and torn

in the chapel of good and evil

blood splats over your temple

a shrine to your sleeping babe a knight

sleeping in then forest as the fire rages in the lions belly

waiting for the dragon to emerge full in form and beauty

ascending from the water down on your head with fire

hair piles high in the witches cauldron

light shafts cutting rainbows thro the room

awaken he finds his sword gone

replaced with seed pods filled with nymphs and angels

blonde again and bored already

lemon crests and the city lights alone at night

yourself alone and looking out onto the world below

sparkling with mystery and bitter familiarity
