Resident mockery 
give us an hour for magic 
We of the purple glove 
We of the starling flight 
and velvet hour 
We of arabic pleasure's breed 
We of sundome and the night 
Give us a creed 
To believe 
Night of lust 
Give us [bad word] in 
The Night 
Give of color 
Hundred hues 
a rich mandala 
For me and you 
And for your silky 
pillowed house 
a head, wisdom 
And a bed 
Troubled decree 
Resident mockery 
has claimed thee 
We used to believe 
In the good old days 
We still receive in 
little ways 
The Things of Kindness 
An unsporting brow 
Forget and allow
