April 4th - Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround

Queen of Diamonds - Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround

 

Lola's Song

There is a beast that lives among us
Sidles, comforts, and provides
In turn, it greeds to sunder us in two
Parts: to leave each neat and packaged
Placed behind imagined lines, separate
Forevermore

This is why they fear us
Those who serve the creature's will
Those who wash its feet and anus
Set out food and gather leavings
Those who hide behind
Its teeth

They are terrified because
For us there are no lines
Our flesh is neither
Neat nor bound
To any misplaced loyalties for man
Or beast

Instead we meld and move together
Perspiration shimmers from our bodies - whole
We dance across Night's curtain, we drink
From the cup that is the Moon until
Its beams shine from our open mouths
Lighting up the sky
