Once upon the Seas of Abyssinia

A cultured man with rings

Within his ear-lobes

Locked the door

From which the sun arose

A man at noon

With shadows on his cheek bone

Singed for sleep

To use him as a pillow

His robes of chintz were melting

In the snows



The stars with eyes

Embedded in his footprints

Wept sweet words

From his remembered childhood

Poets of the skies

Look long and hard



Once upon the Seas of Abyssinia

A cultured man with rings

Within his ear-lobes

Locked the door

From which the sun arose



La, la, la, la, da, da, da, da, la, la, la, la....
