Fury


And night comes like a promise
The sweet flowers awaken
And all the creatures of night come
To fury upon their sweetness
Engorge without care or fear
Till swollen they are made replete
In the sweet explosion of nectar
That we name simply desire
For they must rage till dawn
Until the world again stills
And the moon sinks west
For these flowers dread the day
