Tadpoles of Doom
"Remember me when I am dead,"
Words lingered in the air unheard
Akin to the dust that, unbreathed,
Suffocated 'round my head
My coffin held with shaking hands
By those with ague for a smile
Whilst not dreaming ere a while
Of angels dancing on the sands
"Though I lived long, 'twas not enough",
Words too long, words unsaid
While the restless soul, unfed
Turns to ashes in my head
"Mine the ages, long unknown"
The voice said on the telephone
I'll never know just what that meant
My sense of loss was heaven sent
"Yours the penance, mine the bliss"
With Eurydice, that means one kiss:
But spit the pomegranate seed
And wear a dressing-gown made out of tweed
