Chimera

CHIMERA Taking leave of everything around me To live in a chimera Where there is nothing like death And babies rise from the lakes And don’t keep us up at night And it icecreams instead of snow And all the frogs are golden The sun hums so we can rise When it’s day And the cock dances to the tune The moon doesn’t go away She stays with the sun They are married The wedding was grand In the summer there is ice And everyone can skate And the autumn leaves can float In the chilly summer air The spider is king And the lion but purrs The cobras don’t bite And the implausible pain of the bramble’s prick Can only be soothed with death But there is no such thing as that So you live for eternity With that pain.
