Black Is Beautiful

Come in propitious time,

Now the river is calm, immerse yourself calmly. 

Black gods want to know what have you done with that spring flower they gave you 

To make yourself refurbished, to get yourself some brown face. Where have you been? I was empty there. 

You have all the winter flowers, where have you covered them,

You said, you don't want to see them, you buried them deep into the womb of a woman. Will the mitigating rain come? No gestation, no germination, 

What you know, for you only know

Black is beautiful 

Move in grisly time 

Pull off your shaggy clothes 

If you have some other fancy dresses, put on 

Time is unreal under the billowing city 

But you are a sagacious fool 

You won't leave your house 

You won't leave your clock 

Only you know that 

Black is beautiful 

Come in fictional time 

The city gods have left the chamber of brown sea 

The clock is fallen, the empty sea 

Bare, bruising at this purple hour, 

What you know, for you only know 

Black is beautiful.
