I found it in the crypt Black as a bishop’s lie A little hungry circle That drinks the torchlight dry The wizard said, “Don’t touch” I smiled and touched it twice Now half the throne room’s missing And my gloves have vanished, nice It hums like a bad idea It purrs like sin in silk I gave it just one fingernail It asked me for the milk Hole in the multiverse Open wide, open wide Hole in the multiverse Hide your crown, hide inside Sphere of annihilation Kiss and vanish, sweet delight Hole in the multiverse It ate my boots tonight The goblin leaned in close Said, “Is that thing available?” I said, “For you, dear shovel-face, It’s wildly unavailable” The knight had all his courage The monk had all his grace One flirtatious little bobble And they lost both time and place It winks at holy banners It nibbles on my pride A saucy void with perfect teeth And absolutely no bride Hole in the multiverse Open wide, open wide Hole in the multiverse Hide your crown, hide inside Sphere of annihilation Kiss and vanish, sweet delight Hole in the multiverse It ate my boots tonight Now the stars are in my pocket And my map is torn to lace The queen sent for an answer I sent her a smaller space The chorus of the abyss Went “more, more, more” for me So I bowed and fed it laughter Then it swallowed Germany Hole in the multiverse Open wide, open wide Hole in the multiverse Hide your crown, hide inside Sphere of annihilation Kiss and vanish, sweet delight Hole in the multiverse I blew a kiss to the night
