I know a place
where reason halts
in season and out of season
where something takes the place
in place of reason
a spirit there hovers roundabout
a something felt by those who feel it
here together and to those who come
a place of comfort
a place electric a place alive
a place magnetic
since it started it existed
for those sincere: those thirsty ones
to live their lives
to do their do
who feel they have
yet cannot show.
The place is guarded,
well guarded it
by He-who jealously guards
its innocence, purity, sincerity
subtly guarded it
so that—it seems—not guarded at all
no tyrant he—yet tyrant of tyranny
so shout—we who have felt it
we who are of it
its past-its future
this place
what place?
Oh Hell 291
