Tango de la Materia, No. 84

When sitting in the Athens heat

Colloquial requiem

A material disposition

Closes in the curls

Of humid stormy night once ’fore

Having seen the sparrows

In their dusty holes

Knowing all it is

To symbolize the irrational trust

In (turgid/torpid) metaphors

And begging all it is

To bathe in heat of dusk

Of dusty dusk

Pinning to the piñatas gaunt

The ineffable distrust

The tingling flakes of red

In mind quite contrary

To its own quite reasonable affront

We shake our fallen discretions

Once slight rises

O’ercoming ties to the earth we shun

Our selves productions mere

Of our afeard unbecomings

Once nestled in a truss

Do come pouring out

On out of lust
