I’ve never honored commandments, never went to mass
I’ve never honored commandments, never went to mass,
- Until a psalm is sung and I’m returned to ashes,
I’ll continue to sin – like I sin – like I’ve sinned in the past
With all five of the god-given senses: with passion!
Friends! – Accomplices! – Whose instigations left scars!
Gentle teachers! – Partners in crime and in mirth!
Gentlemen, ladies, clouds, constellations of stars, -
On Judgment Day, we’ll answer together, Earth!
September 26, 1915
