Quoth The Raven §2: Ode To L.A. While Thinking Of Brian Jones, Deceased; de Jim Morrison

I'm a resident of a city
They've just picked me to play
the Prince of Denmark


Poor Ophelia

All those ghosts he never saw

Floating to doom
On an iron candle


Come back, brave warrior
Do the dive
On another channel

Hot buttered pool
Where's Marrakesh
Under the falls

the wild storm
where savages fell out

in late afternoon
monsters of rhythm


You've left your
Nothing
to compete w/

Silence

I hope you went out
Smiling
Like a child
Into the cool remnant
of a dream

The angel man

w/ Serpents competing
for his palms
& fingers
Finally claimed
This benevolent

Soul

Ophelia

Leaves, sodden
in silk


Chlorine
dream
mad stifled
Witness

The diving board, the plunge
The pool


You were a fighter
a damask musky muse


You were the bleached
Sun
for TV afternoon

horned-toads
maverick of a yellow spot


Look now to where it's got

You

in meat heaven
w/ the cannibals
& jews

The gardener

Found
The body, rampant, Floating

Lucky Stiff

What is this green pale stuff
You're made of

Poke holes in the goddess
Skin

Will he Stink

Carried heavenward
Thru the halls

of music

No Chance.

Requiem for a heavy
That smile
That porky satyr's

leer
has leaped upward

into the loam


(A minha homenagem aos 60's, depois de ver o filme Stoned:
Jim Morrison louvando Brian Jones comigo ouvindo Led Zeppelin)
