Living one night
Posted on | December 15, 2009 | 2 Comments
Living one night as if in a Peter Greenaway film–
Verdant, succulent,
wholely inappropriate,
wild, untamed, unrestrained,
gold, glittering, moistly dripping,
rash, foolish, mad…
Dionysos, make me no promises we both know you won’t keep.
Just sweep me into your arms,
Into your manic joy, and
Spin me around like the
dizzying, dancing, divinely laughing
inspired stars.
Ah, Dionysos, tell me no lies, but inspire me;
Inspire me.

Be careful what you ask for . . . .

Exactly, and one night I hope to have before I croak it
Thank you for posting this delicious dream.
