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.

Orpheus and Ophelia drink scorpion wine to detoxify their bodies from poisonous colonialist attitudes of racism and xenophobia that infected their souls so they can save America from tyranny.
