Be Kind to Me

On Newness
A Prayer

awishing well overflows over there,

Muses it is new and Medusa Got it

and Mr. Frost is draped or Cloaked in frost

Or coated-to-crackle an arm closer to the home-farm,

many shouldered Birds mock his progress

A new Hellespont has opened Ovid

May your Muses therefore Sing

Here where the Volcano first new it’s Nature

where it Broke and tilled the earth to life,

revolving Lave overturns bustling the soil

to nourish Cornstalks and Chimney-Pipes a Land

Long bruised shudders forward and rightly is

a Maiden draped in Blackening-Frost,

May your Muses therefore Sing

Samson (an unruly dog) has Sabotaged the pillars

Run, now get out of here (as fast as) (you (can while you) can)

as Maiden-draped-in-frost explodes and Runs

As the Fountain-overflows too quickly

too much the floor is wet

The Temple downed to till-Earth like Lava

May your Muses therefore Sing
