Written by Kenneth Hickey
Red moon of summer evening
August heatwave lasts apace
Cows bark like jackals
The queen dwells cool in residence
Her standard fluttering high
Strange messages linger still
Peace descends in silent waves
Old dragon winks wisely through the fields
Fingers of celestial clouds
Invade virgin sky
O heavenly father I have sinned
I forgot to bring the bins in
We sit and smoke the heavenly nectar
Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies
The dragon rises again
A powerful monster living down in the darkness
The hidden one appears for a moment’s turn
The holy one’s true self slips out to speak
Sixteen again back in that Deutschland garden.
He stares at the clouded moon
