Za's Stair - Surfeit Rose

Your high speech and boulder head
Are marsh gas lights leading travelers astray
I seek the Great Emboldening
Pictures in my way, a will-o-wisp at bay

We've sung the protest riot songs
Along the beaches widening away
You sit in lotus by the pond
Frozen in decay. Scant left to say

And diving down below the atoms
To transcend the upper fray
I seek the peaceful pumpkin
Quiet and delayed, wire edging hay

Your shrill flower songs continue
With their hedges circled close
I timeshift to a different venue
Partake of a separate host

The Great Peace is ever-widening
Excited and divine
The moonbeam on the sillcock glows
Never to unwind

The Marshy Tribes have trudged to roost
Muddy and sincere
We offer each a bare handshake
Then grin from ear to ear
