Animal Comparative
Animal,
To whom do you caress with such vitality,
In a land of scorn and infinite notoriety
The nightly passion in my sweaty palms
Dances with you until the morning calms
Animal, I feel you breathe upon my chest
Heart pumping juices, overflowing my breast
And a joy that made haste with a murky shroud
That developed everlasting prayer in my lonely cloud
For tenderness I abolished since birth I quote
From a nameless moral that jangled my boat
It took without cause, undid all my rations
And it said, in the most cruelest of fashions,
"Relinquish thy faith, for the mighty are sworn
To spew forth sacrifice and forever be torn.
Until the endless fabrics of unity be truest
You will find nothing here, in the sense of a realist"
But you, animal, have pulled it from under
And destroyed the moral that set me a plunder
The esteem has returned with a jovial force
To set my soul afoot and keep it on course
Yet I stray with beguilement at your lofty will
And fixate on the darkness which this heart does fill
For as that code gradually becomes decomposition,
My soul takes a final stand with a selfish proposition:
That we mate our souls with conviction and serenity
And derail all that plagues, and becomes our obscenity
So, dearest, should you undertake such a plea,
This abyss shall elevate and I'll become free
Of the torture my life has sustained indefinitely
And this cloud will meet any tasks with your company
You are my cloud, my animal, and my only wall
In a room with no doors, it is you, great narwhale.
