Nude Descending

Godiva of the farmlands
of the peach,
Godiva of the Gift Shop
of the thrill seeker,
Godiva of parched lips
of crippled hips,
Godiva of sitting Shiva
of hands folded,
Godiva of perpetual collision
of happy turmoil,
Godiva of pathologie
of eternal blackouts,
Godiva of waste
of long dead people,
Godiva of Whow-wee
of fox, bat and wolf,
Godiva of bangle bracelets
of shortness in breath,
Godiva of sons' sleeping
of the silence before dawn,
Godiva of musical chairs
of poorly tended zoos,
Godiva of the Apache
of Globe and San Carlos,
Godiva of handmade paper
of full ashtrays,
Godiva of the coin-fed horse
of El Rancho and sawdust,
Godiva of the Grapes of Wrath
of invasions and launchers,
Godiva of typhoid
of summers in tuberculosis,
Godiva of seasonal illness
of cold and wet, hot and dry,
Godiva of foreign hospitals
of fascist gendarmes...

Godiva, Godiva, Godiva
That's all I ever hear.
