Once upon the Seas of Abyssinia
|
A cultured man with rings
|
Within his ear-lobes
|
Locked the door
|
From which the sun arose
|
A man at noon
|
With shadows on his cheek bone
|
Singed for sleep
|
To use him as a pillow
|
His robes of
|
chintz were melting
|
In the snows
|
The stars with eyes
|
Embedded in his footprints
|
Wept sweet words
|
From his remembered childhood
|
Poets of the skies
|
Look long and hard
|
Once upon the Seas of Abyssinia
|
A cultured man with rings
|
Within his ear-lobes
|
Locked the door
|
From which the sun arose
|
La, la, la, la, da, da, da
|
