Smock Faced Amoroso
Durevole di tenerezza
For old, wrinkled, wan
And walking on water
A wolf in the wool
A lamb for the slaughter
And would it mean more
If he were your daughter
This smile it masks
A splintered crushed coffer
And when did I ask, this faustian offer
They won't see
And the Gods
They kill us for sport
If your eyes could see
The face in the ground
If your ears could hear
Hollow shaking sound
Conceit of reason would flounder and wilt
The driving black hate that takes one to the hilt
Though nothing was sate
The absence of guilt
Blood wept from his pores
The indifference
He lay still on the floor
The illusion of Sense
There is No Release
If just for a moment
For a moment you could see
If just for an instant
One in which you found some peace
