Darjeeling's Horoscope On Cempletion Of The 64th Revolution

At sunrise Saturn dances on top of the Moon,
The Scorpion watches them with Her head held high,
The Ace of Swords gives you some mental clarity,
You're so far away: This is no disparity,
So, look to the stars for signs and reach for the sky,
This is a good time to lay down your weary tune,
Looking for Love is not some kind of rarity.

At Five In The Afternoon

Down in the dregs of a hundred degree fever,
She was there at five o'clock in the afternoon,

They picked him up out of the hot dust and the sand,
For him it was a very bloody afternoon,

She waited, her fever rose another degree,
In her day dreams she had dreaded this afternoon,

The people were crowded around the outer gate,
It was hot in the marketplace that afternoon,

A young man held their coats so no one knew their names,
Hiding there in the shadow of the afternoon,

They carried him away to the burying ground,
Singing songs of praise in the dirty afternoon,

Mary told her friends who were waiting for the news,
St. Stephen is dead, they killed him this afternoon.
