they say they Have To Have His Body
but i don't know if they know what it means, about having a body
and what a body means that came out of a polygonal crystal
(neither do i)
and i'm not one to say that death is never the end
but if it were the end, then mor ardain loves dying
because the ruling class are rare to create
and begin, as we have, in this house
where addam goes, and i stay apart
not left and separate but yearning, two hearts
lord hugo has never, ever had this
and death would claim his freedom yet
what burial? pah, no burial!
no end to this, which began so grisly
never slouching, never feebling to falter
do they forget that he made his own body?
i do not hate propriety, for it evenly governs
but once was it given, then twice propaganda
what notion of shame and the body unacknowledged
what aspar disparaged in the tree of life
all this to say, my defense of hugo
my harboring of him, first fugitive crime
my delight in his freedom, my sorrow for his cell
he must now leave us, or take the death knell
Or, it's the one where Hugo doesn't die - for real this time.
