~~~
The cock crows at dawn
but one cock alone doesn't summon the sun
Some still maintain
that Orféu sings the sun up each day
Yes, in the throes
of Carnaval's close, it seems to be true
But one rooster's crow
is a pale echo
Still, sad and beautiful
~
Dream wine- and moonlight-infused
Orféu conjures his momma, the muse
One cock alone,
crying out in the night, bewitching the stones
Still sad and beautiful
~
Ya gotta pay the piper
If ya wanna call the tune
Even that cock was an egg
Laid last June
Even if he had
the strength of ten
Still, sad and beautiful
~
Fountains are weeping
As he goes on seeking the Fountain of Youth
And every other Muse
Echoes
