Lizard

Farewell the temple master's bells 
His kiosk and his black worm seed 
Courtship solely of his word 
With Eden guaranteed. 
For now Prince Rupert's tears of glass 
Make saffron sabbath eyelids bleed 
Scar the sacred tablet of wax 
On which the Lizards feed. 


Wake your reason's hollow vote 
Wear your blizzard season coat 
Burn a bridge and burn a boat 
Stake a Lizard by the throat. 


Go Polonius or kneel 
The reapers name their harvest dawn 
All your tarnished devil's spoons 
Will rust beneath our corn. 
Now bears Prince Rupert's garden roam 
Across his rain tree shaded lawn 
Lizard bones become the clay- 
And there a Swan is born 


Wake your reasons' hollow vote 
Wear your blizzard season coat 
Burn a bridge and burn a boat 
Stake a Lizard by the throat. 


Gone soon Piepowder's moss-weed court 
Round which upholstered Lizards sold 
Visions to their leaden flock 
Of rainbows' ends and gold. 
Now tales Prince Rupert's peacock brings 
Of walls and trumpets thousand fold 
Prophets chained for burning masks 
And reels of dream unrolled...
