ABSINTHE
Green cascades down over sugar -
Green collides with ancient pleasure...
Queen inhales the potent treasure -
Dream of tripping trap & trigger.
And the drums are calling...
The stars are falling...
The licorice flavor of bitter green milk.
The vision strewn strobing...
The figure disrobing...
My tongue free & probing...
My tears fall like silk.
This sagebrush religion...
This wormwood incision...
This liqueur magic is ripened in pain.
Crowning in scene three...
Drowning in green sea...
At last I will be free...
Or at last I'm insane.
