They are waiting to take us into
the severed garden.
Do you know how pale and wanton thrillful
comes death on a strange hour.
Unannounced, unplanned for...
Like a scaring over-friendly guest you've brought to bed.
No more money, no more fancy dress.
This other kingdom seems by far the best
Until its other jaw reveals incest
and loose obedience to a vegetable law.
I will not go.
Prefer a feast of friends
To the giant family.
