The Mystic's Bed

High a synthetic
rhapsody man
Lays on the belly
each and then
Pulls from earth
the mirth to bring
All the magic
he chooses to sing

Here low below
and inner side out
no better show
leaves lesser doubt
No farther down
the hare's scary stair
does one find the answer
quite unaware

Time is the mother
who spanks with care
whilst father himself
grieves in despair
Brother is beaten
and given his due
Sister is sent
to play at the zoo

All we like lions
are left to devour
as fast as we can
every last hour
Wake not our love
until we are dead
Ignore the rhymes found
in the mystic's bed
