In Excelsis Deo - Variation The Third Of A Surrealist Carol For Madrigal Choir To Be Sung While Bathing Poem by Warren Falcon

Hair of soap and head of tears
rinse mine eyes of Christmas stars
O bells, the bells sear me

Wash mine hair of splendid fears
water me hot and redly rare
O trumps, the trumpets blear me

Rinse mine eyes of Christmas fears
Water me hot and redly rare
O fey, the fey stars blear me.

Scars heal me up to here
scald me pinkly if you dare
O gay, the gay sleds slay me

Is that flesh
floating on the
surface me who
swims or sinks
fraternally?

I know a strange me

with soap for eyes
and suds to see

Eternally yours,

He.
