I am mad with
And no one understands my plight
Only the
Understand the agonies of the wounded,
I am mad with
And no one understands my plight
Only the
Understand the agonies of the wounded,
This mad carnival of loving,
This wild orgy of the flesh,
Ends at last and we two, sobered,
Look at one another, yawning
The flabby wine-skin of his
Yields to some pathologic strain,

I lift my lids and all is born again

)The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
The mad girl with the staring eyes and long white
Hooked in the stones of the wall,
The storm-wrack hair and screeching mouth: does it matter,

In whom there is a bigest war.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
