BETEL’S VALENTINE Leaves are the only language I’ve got left it’s a small mentally-enlarged yard in a nation that has lost its name in a brain that has lost its capacity for scorn. Finally the Greeks realized Apollo and Dionysius were the same creature but my fellow prisoners disdain both equally in complete denial of their own precarious position. Sometimes they come so close to my face I can hear the beating of their wings orangeness singing you’re up next. Lovely lecture. Thanks!

BETEL’S VALENTINE

Leaves are the only language I’ve got left
it’s a small mentally-enlarged yard
in a nation that has lost its name
in a brain that has lost
its capacity for scorn.

Finally the Greeks realized Apollo
and Dionysius were the same creature
but my fellow prisoners disdain
both equally in complete denial
of their own precarious position.

Sometimes they come so close
to my face I can hear
the beating of their wings
orangeness singing
you’re up next.
