"I'm Not Afraid of The Dark" # 92,
A Butterfly is Dyingc
These Bright Wings
Set Thee many Honey Drops
Wings Upon Thy Darkened Waters
When Thine Lover flutters Hither
These Wings/ Brilliant
Strangled in Thine Seething Feelings
Underneath these Steaming Liquids
Upward toward thee/Heaven/sighing
23, March 1992/
for Franco/... ...... /...Bridgette Hughes
and Special Dedications to Suzanne Vega, Philip Glass, and Micheal Nyman/
Flower-Colour'd
Shiver and Burst
in Flight/Unsmother'd
Love-Liquid/Sweet upon thy Lips
Frozen/Sunlight's Burning Stops
An Ice-Filled Passion's Crushing Grip/
Dripping Heavy/Honey's Dew..
When the Moon glows Hot in Quarter
When the Sun Doth Blaze in Blue
Crumpled Wings o f Passion / Hush'd
Come Down Where Thint Flowers Wither..
Summers Ending Fires / Flush'd
Are Resilient/.....
Are The Never Ending Beat
of Twin Hearts upon the Jungle
of This Garden/Chok'd with Heat
Happiness as Hot as Sun
Choking Melancholy's Stealing
Life's Sweet Passions
(BLAZE/..BLAST/...STUN/)
Setting Fire to the Sky
Red and Purple Clouds /Insipid
Filling Up My Sixteen Eyes
Towards The Starbursts/ Dost Thou Flying
Towards such Cosmic Flaming Space
Where a Butterfly is Dying
Where The Angels Whirl in Grace
Where thine Demons Flame Desire
Where the Sun Drops pelt thy Face
Where the Rainbows Blaze En'fired
Where In Heaven / Angels Wait
Where Sugar'd Blossoms Seent Forever
Where the Answers are to Fate
Where Reward Thoust can Endeavor
Where Thoust Eyes Can Purely See
Where These Gardens Are Tomorrow
Where All Butterflies are Free....
