Scorpions and Horses
Tonight I'll saddle up the scorpion
kicking to hell its armored flanks
ratchet legs charging straight ahead
poison lance hovering above my head
claws snapping at the cooling desert wind,
hunting for fiery pieces of moon-tinged sin.
I'll romp with a band of glass-blown vamps
in Bosh's tasseled garden of earthly delights-
Come sunrise, I'll dismount my poisonous tank
don a tie and ride a three-piece suited Pegasus.
