Reality today is a sunless chasm <br />Impossible to climb, <br />A smooth wall smeared with grease, <br />A punishment from trickster gods <br />Exiled from ancient Greece… <br /> <br />Love parades in gaudy clothes <br />But exits before minute and meaningful pleasure, <br />Everything is a Judas kiss <br />Inviting a slow walk and a crucifix. <br /> <br />But if you lift your skirt, <br />I’ll do my best to make things fit, <br />I’ll be imaginative and elaborate <br />In mingling the poisons I secrete <br />In this treacherous existence.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-lift-your-skirt/
