Secret Ingredient
Secret Ingredient
There's no coming back to you
The morning hunger pangs
What can one do but open the doors
Which draw in the breeze of bliss
And the scent of satiation
O what lies within that causes such din
In my tummy.
Pie.
Where one is drawn by the vaults
The cold caress of cracked carrion
of the fruit of yesteryear
Spoiled it is not
Rich in its undulating earth energy
This be the prize of paradise's plenty
The scorn of all rottenness and depravity
The secret ingredient
The wholeness of the circle
Curvilinear forms embracing
merger with the infinite
What brings this mythos of pie to light
What brings it to new beginnings
Where goblins tread on sages dead
And houses of sirens sailing
Toward the hells of dried taste
Come taste and see
And you will be
Transfixed by the delight
Of this pie's might
Of its hidden ingredient untold of old
O where may it yet be found
Above earth or in the ground
Has it given to everlasting reproach
Has the almighty indicted it's toast
Are the fears of all the years untold
Due to this pie's unfurling
What is your secret ingredient?
