Maenad Noon

O Maenad Noon,
now that you are a year older,
invocations are letter-authentic
ooh ooh Maenad Noo-oohn,
ooh ooh Maenad Noo-oohn
you deserve a break today
so get up and break away
now you see me now you don't
look for me where the paper boats float
in this flight from lions,
the detour is subterranean
and we meet Eurydice coming up
alone to be devoured
