One Night a Fool

You watched the eagles Reach for the stars. They had scars From duels Against all odds And winning made them bubble gods. You were a carmel Ridden by an Arab in you. Your dreams were few You sought for a way through the eye of the needle You chose the way of a fool You followed on like a tail. You've seen stars fall. You've seen star dust You fought noisy Lust - To refuse the glory hidden in a fool. Through the hot Kalahari Your feet trod Without a word. The vultures that thought you were dreamy. They called you a dumb ass You were a potenial carcass. You found the one-eyed gate; A portal Wisdom waits at the banquet. Your mad pursuit climaxed with more mockery But you were too frigid to fall for the seduction of misery. Here you are Where stars Are soap bubbles Children play with. Now the eagles Cover their faces Praying for the carmel's dreams. You were a fool for a night Squeezing through the needle's eye.
