Beauty is Imperfection

… a new song. Just what is going on here?

The Dionysian Rationale

(at http://www.myspace.com/ersalodeguierre )
Behold his body and the fountain from his head
runs to boundless seas
He’s seen visions
Heard an oracle in oak trees
Drank honey from his dreams

He was born free in the wild
He is nature’s child
Coming out in sugar streams

From his mouth fly a million butterflies
Pearls are in his eyes
Close your eyes and you will see

Look where the river runs
Underneath your footsteps
Cool coca leaves
You could drown libidinous
Hungry and carnivorous
Warlike and extreme

And an orgy of life bubbles from you
Frothing up to transform you
From a life-giving eternal spring

In the arms of Morpheus go slack
And then you come back
Drinking honey from your dreams

Where every rock has its own healthy mind
Where every clearing is a killing floor
Where every living tree is thought divine
Where every mushroom is like heaven’s door

Like leaves that redden, die and mellow
So will you my son

When you look upon the violence of this
warring bloody world
Do not wonder why
Just fall upon all fours and scream
Like a baying animal
With white and wild eyes

And a river of life passes through you
It has come to reclaim you
And take you to eternal sky

You are the only one who knows now
So take off your clothes now
And dance with all your fevered mind

Don’t you know your mind is healthy
And every clearing is a killing floor
Just shut your mind off put it in the trash
Boom boom
Take every mushroom right to heaven’s door
Like leaves that redden, die and mellow
So you will my son

Behold the body there’s a fountain in his rib
Washing down through caves
He’s seen visions
Myths issue from his body
Like wine gushing through the staves

He was born free in the wild
He is nature’s child
Washed up from the foamy waves

From his mouth fly a million butterflies
Pearls are in his eyes
Call his name and you will see
