• Lovely Legacy

this is Our chance

Our most magnanimous chance

perhaps Our only real chance

to gather up Our heirloom glory

to create a coronation story

this is Our ancient arrival into a sad city

inhabited by only the saddest descendants

of avocados ripe and resplendent

where the glorious river of Our mutual spit

and lusttropfen flows directly through the town

directly through the town to wash the grains

that we will knead and bake into bread

that we will share together at our benediction table

and we look at one another straight into the Augen Lieben eyes

through the flame of an orange candle

that you dipped with your own artful hands

this is Our chance

Our most magnanimous chance

to reclaim our sparkling position

for the very first time in hundreds of years

since that bird flew into our window

into Our inherited Swiss kitchen window

this is the mystical hymn

that we shall choose to learn to sing

in the most majestic of stereophonic frequencies

free of all these mortal blasphemies

for this shall be our lovely legacy

which we shall voice a lilting threnody

to the death of jasmine and the chopped-down redwood tree

we shall exalt the birth of these tiny golden skeletons

pressed in between us for fresh food and mutual Love

we shall give Our emblematic voices to them

and to all those who care to even listen

for this Our chance

this is Our improbable chance

Our one and only most magnanimous chance

to offer homage and to signal remembrance

for the sacred oath we took together

down by the river on that bed of clover

where the sun shone upon Our crooked crowns

and melted the honey between Our magnanimous molten mouths

for this is Our lovely legacy

this is Our chance

this is Our chance
