Antimacassar

Antimacassar
3-17-16

Conscience seared with a hot iron
Forbidding to marry
Abstaining from meats
Which God created to be received with thanksgiving
Yeah, to each his own
For rep of red our erg and dyne
Staying out of bed
Change your ways
Tell me what you're going to do
And another antimacassar
For every creature of God is good
And nothing is to be refused
For it is sanctified by the Word of God and prayer
Quoting from the Black Cottage
We chanced in passing by that afternoon
As dead flies putrefy the perfumer's ointment.....






You're Crying (Close The Door)
3-17-16

For the wheel broken at the well
The dust returns to the earth
Just as it was
All is vanity
But a succorer of the sanity
Of making many books
There is no end
And much study is wearisome to the flesh
All is vanity and words of scholars
Are like well-driven nails given by one Shepherd
Moreover he must have a good report
To them which stand without
For a buttoned haircloth
With an old daguerreotype
Come the pitcher scattered at the fountain
Remember your Creator
Before the silver cord is loosed...
