O the Fickle Dialects of the World!


See here where the bones of Joan of Arc
Molder under the oak? Where is she is
Not a question we should be asking all we
Know is here a blossoming soul in the grass!
O we want to listen to Al Green and dance!
We just want to dance around these quiet
Flowers here beneath these forgotten trees
The lily and your lips thunder more softly
Than these Mississippi clouds tonight and more
Ominously O we want to listen to Al Green
Don’t we? What hymn murmurs its seditions
Beneath these oaks tonight humming
Discomfiting secrets in the blood of every leaf?
The rain is making puddles to wash our faces
