….you know who you are
Where is the wine
The New Wine
(Dying on the vine)
Resident mockery
Give us an hour for magic
We of the purple glove
We of the starling flight
And velvet hour
We of Arabic pleasures's breed
We of sundome and the night
Give us a creed
To believe
A night of lust
Give us trust in
The Night
Give of color
Hundred hues
A rich mandala
For me and for you
And for your silky
Pillowed house
A head, wisdom
And a bed
Troubled decree
Resident mockery
Has claimed thee
