Dreams of
desire
The Morning’s decadence

Pastoral proddings
of a gymnast’s
curves

To crave
the butterfat
of a dairy cow

And walk
hand in hand
with alabaster

You too can
share in the
common vermouth

And drink gin
on a cold
grey day

The black chimneys
silhouette of a
doomed factory

Churning up the
remains of black
sulfur lungs

The Earth is
choked by
strawberry’s ferment

And tied down
by grim tales
of Greyhounds and Ravens

We are arcane
Domesticated
Albatrosses

Destined for a
life of holiness
and straw
