Fire and smoke cleanses the soul <br />My spirit, Pour may spirit in a dirt glass, let me drink my way to truth <br />En vino veritas, I have heard it said <br />I want the chance to prove it either way <br /> <br />Just one night in a bar called Eden <br />Come Adam and Eve, put your money away! <br />This round is on me, <br />what's your poison <br /> <br />Bar-maid, snake like skin, <br />the history of the world on her scales <br />she brings us free drinks, and whispers <br />whispers things i cannot repeat <br /> <br />A voice from upstairs, booming <br />We must leave, and leave at great speed <br />I have left my matches behind, I ask the angel with a flaming sword for a light <br />Kiss my cigarette and am gone down the road<br /><br />Rosa Mayfair<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-few-moments-in-eden/
