FROM HAIL THEE WHO PLAY, 1974

for Jim Morrison

OH MUSE,

SING THAT I BE ME, BE THOU,

BE MEAT,

be me, be I, no ruse

—A MAMMALED MAN,

and stand

with rainbow robes

that drop away and globes

that float in air about my hand.

A UNIVERSE IN FIGURE EIGHTS

swirls about my head

in flashing neon-lighted dots and blurs and spots

and heavy lines of triumph energy

that lie within my skin.

I raise this knife, this wand, with blade

so thin . . .

I lie upon a circled, polished table

AND LEAP UP

to be myself again!!!!!

!OH POTENCY!

To be my self-soiled soul,

SPIRIT AGAIN,

AND NOTHING MORE!
