Brides
Silk Worms Spewed Me A Suit Fit For A King
Wore It At A Wedding Where I Coveted
Another Man-‘s Bride
The Worms Came, Ate My Fine Suit, They
Had Found Me Unworthy; Naked Walked
Through The Park Of Autumnal Leaves.
By Daybreak I Sat On A Stone By The Sea
And Didn-‘t Hear The Cockerel Crew, A Mermaid
Beckoned For Me To Join Her.
We Swam To An Island Not Marked By Maps
In The Bay I Saw My Old Schooner Called May,
De-Rigged Now And Unable To Sail
Cured Of My Vanity, Worms Spewed Me
Another Fine Suit; By Not Looking Back I Walked
On Water To A Wedding In Paris
