- The blood sunset is dying,
- Slowly vanishing under the
- Onslaught of Night -- that
- leering, wretched King of
- Crown Jewels. It Taxes
- away my childhood rocking horse,
- its obsessive race that goes no where;
- my one-button-eyed Velveteen Rabbit,
- never lost but worn away by love; my
- first Kotex maxipad, stained distinctly
- with virginal discharge; my black-bodied
- Buffette Crampon clarinet, gift of
- Orpheus from the Elysian Fields; my
- first love's kisses, held captive in
- his jaundiced porch light; my 3.8
- college average, indicative of
- lost sleep and little else; my
- philosophical rotation from
- atheism to Christianity to Jeddu
- Krishnamurti to nothing, spinning
- all the while yet motionless; my
- faithful lover/friend/(dog) Buddy,
- who despite his emotionless existence
- does not endorse Night; my brother,
- Knight of reusable ink cartridges
- false duty to one's parents and
- incomprehensible humor; my mother, Witch
- of all card hands; my father; my
- dark-haired Love, who retaught
- joy in the stars and simplicity; --
- The blood sunset is dying.
