Otto



Would a little more of moon and sky make him say,
   'god is high, and is often worse
    always told like a dirty curse'

and sung into dawn, and one more sickening day:
   'remembered and dismembered,
    dismembered and remembered'?

Would that e'er be pleasing to the sole chubby bee,
   bloody snail torn like fresh meat,
   or gypsy moth with two dusty feet--

the tortured and then boiled body of a big fat bee?
  I dreamt and before long a king
  sent three soft curly saints to bring

a little more of moon and more of sky in Otto's way,
  whose bloody feet and gypsy soul
  make it easy to die in one more hole
