Are you here to see what only angels have seen?
So far from me
You believe yourself so far from me
Apart from me
Am I now released
To penetrate the secret of this old disease?
Did you all retreat just to mock and cheat
That passing gleam revealed in a dream?
A vision seen in an opium sleep
Now come and kneel for clemency
Our love is flawed, yet our legs entwine
The hidden urn with the poison wine
The hidden urge for things remote
The travel can no more console
And how are we to welcome
The new years, these new years?
And how are we to ever know
Clemency?
Now suck it in, now breathe it out
Now suck it in, now spit it out:
Clemency!
Look beyond now...
