When our hearts are poisoned by bleak despair 
we will drink scorpion wine of desire 
which should detoxify bitter regret 
and cleanse our souls with pure angelic love 
so I may walk with you in apple grove 
and wish on our star that our love will grow. 

Since vastness of the world contains us both 
we will drink scorpion wine of desire 
so light expands from abyss of our hearts 
through nuclear radiation of true love 
because we give each other everything 
till we become the stranger we adore. 

Flustered by rattle of demonic bones, 
we will drink scorpion wine of desire 
to taste conceptual chintz of arrogance 
that flashes ancient river of contempt 
where weeping angels drown in tears of thirst 
to hide blank faces of the dead from God. 

Erased by flash of sunlight on the lake, 
we will drink scorpion wine of desire 
to forget frantic pain of obscene trees 
while yearning to hear owls with broken wings 
resurrect our clay bodies from despair 
that bruise our hearts with alligator laughs. 

Despite electric traces of false faith, 
we will drink scorpion wine of desire 
to calculate negation of our hopes 
by racing speed boat in harrowing gloom 
when police chase us to end of the world 
deep in the sultry swamp of politics. 

After Death replaces our eyes with gems 
we will drink scorpion wine of desire 
to free our spirits trapped in sapphire brains 
when stars smash windows of unfathomed homes 
where children purchase penance from the moon 
who sells their bodies to the vampire king. 

When our bodies crumble to dust at death 
we will drink scorpion wine of desire 
brewed by the Devil with angelic blood 
and sold in bottles at all grocery stores 
which clink in the bag as we bike back home 
to eat pears and cheese in the dark back yard. 

Eager to dispel bane of exiled gods, 
we will drink scorpion wine of desire 
we bought from Lucifer behind the church 
who asks that we donate blood to his cause 
to breed invisible oranges of faith 
that would revive our children killed in war.
