MONSOON

And there came a strange night

of chocolate love

& Indian film

when a unicorn drifted

across the sugar cain fields of my mind -

like a train vision of the deepest meaning.

When only ages before,

I was a young man

holding down that golden God

beneath the weight of my loving

& the strength of my kisses.

And then -

A ripple of water -

& a lily pad in an ocean -

& limousines from Heaven -

though nothing can save us

but time...

Time to forgive...

Time to forget...

Time to die...

And drift away on those seasonal winds.
