Notes About The Poem

heavens empty hours

Give me but some music
- in heavens empty hours -
a piece of song, giddy-paced
and innocence for innocence
I’m a horse that never tires

While a cup of wine
makes light airs 
and merry hearts

It too can unyoke the humour of the immature, 
“So, wait, you think if you say a few right things
I’ll let you on it?”

Ha! No I won’t
you weak spirit
I see right through you

Oh, I’m not lily-white of hue,
I’m more the colour of blood red roses

But that one there, *pointing*
he relieves my passion
see this ring?
I frisk for him
.

The first verse = I like to dance =] and I can dance with others when Peter wears out.
