Molten Calf |
This is the god of lawlessness A god of wantonness And animal appetites It a god of body and hunger Of longing and wanting That is my comfort In these wild places and my banner And standard in the battles For I have grown weary and restless In the shadow of this mountain A god of singing and drinking Of eating and dancing A god of lewdness and wild gestures Of revelry and release In this desert place And awaken my heart to the Worship of the whim and The adoration of the urge In a wasteland so barren In a world empty of God by Doug Tanoury This poem is © Copyright 2001 |
