Hieronymus

I have seen eyes in the trees

I heard the devil howl

Got down on my knees and prayed

But I went back for more

My appetite is whet

I recall in my childhood

You aroused in me

Thoughts of no good

I used to melt

Into hell, liquefy

My appetite is whet for

Hieronymus, I walk with you

When I'm sleeping

When I wake up in your world

I'm not dreaming

And when I melt

I can go anywhere

Slip under the door unawares

I have a thousand eyes, Hieronymus

I have seen angels loving

On a bed of nails

Distant drumming

I used to melt

First my eyes, then my soul

My appetite is whet...
