Oh Great
P'uul-yverre
there is no hope for
you
once you've seen the
Medusa
there is no hope for
you
the Medusa of
language pullulating with alien life
you can change your
name
(there still is no
hope for you!)
you can change your
country
(there is still no
hope for you!)
Medusa can satisfy
only once
and you are a
Medusa-addict
a Medusa-head
your own temples
wreathed in hypnotic constrictors
there is no hope for
you
snorting pulverdust
off one of her casual
come-hither
keep-thither glances
stoned on Medusa
only your addiction
has hope
and once you're
fixed you stand fixed
center stanza of a
stone uniVERSE
that blooms black
Spring
a metal and stone
Spring
stoneheavy leaden
ponderous as a voorish dome in deep dendo
only your addiction
has hope
that perches on the
bust of Medusa atop your chamber door and says NEVERENOUGH
there is no hope for
the one who can only want always more,
-- when your eyes
met
that's when she said
-- always more --
