Instructions for Angels
Instructions for Angels
by Kenneth Patchen
Take the useful events
For your tall.
Red Mouth
Blue weather.
To hell with power and hate and war.
The mouth of a pretty girl...
The weather in the highest soul...
Put the tips of your fingers
On a baby man;
Teach him to be beautiful.
To hell with power and hate and war.
Tell God that we like
The rain, and snow, and flowers,
And trees, and all things gentle and clean
That have growth on the earth.
White winds.
Golden fields.
To hell with power and hate and war.
