Another Head For Hydra

Rainbow Castle: brown bird, common bird - - How’s your little twig nest been? Brownbird: I heard you searched the hollow earth Have you finally found your long lost friend? Endless words of “a dream deferred” Wouldn’t have you look my way So I made the rounds in Germantown They could barely taste my pancreas that day The 28th, Will The Lucky 8th, Bill Did you win that Grammy, Will? Good for the landfill Did you beat Phil? Did you network well? [So grew another head for Hydra] You wanna circle Sinai Another forty years Have I made myself? And myself clear? Still seduced by the child celebrity appeal Have I made myself? Have I made myself? And myself clear? Brown eyes, brown eyes What do you see? Brown Eyes: brown eyes of an adult looking back at me Brown eyes, brown eyes What do you see? Brown Eyes: hazel eyes & a caterpillar book on my knee Now you’re gonna explain to me about resilience and fragility? Circling Sinai Another forty years? Have I made myself? And myself clear? Let’s watch the desert sky Do silent shapes appear? Have I made myself? In any way myself? Hold your children close Whenever we come near? Speak in children’s prose For those with ears to hear? You in the diving bell Atop the silver skyline Play the victim well Who’s the devil this time? The devil this time? The devil this time?
