Libation

"weeping tears of gold"

Let us drink. Strength from this star Love from another, To the Iron Rose and his graceful lover. Mars and Venus The moon close by... All the planets of the sky Shine in the tears From his stone eye.

Let us drink. To the carved man waving Toward that Pleadian dust Locked in a space suit Time and tears will rust... To this "small Priest" whet in sun cut stone Standing on the hill side alone... Tonight he drinks alone.
