lyrics

Behold the moralist hidalgo
Whose whore is Morning Star
Dressed in metal, silk, and stone,
Syringa, cicada, his flea.

In how severe a book he read,
Until his nose grew thin and taut
And knowledge dropped upon his heart
Its pitting poison half the night.

He liked the nobler works of man,
The gold facades 'round early squares,
The bronzes, liquid through gay light.
He laughed to himself at such a plan.

He sat among beggars wet with dew,
Heard the dogs howl at barren morn,
Sat alone, his great toe like a horn,
The central flaw in the solar morn.
