Melancholy is not clinical lycanthropy,
(The state of suspecting you're a wolf)
Nor is it kuru (when your nipples
Are thinking about killing you
By suddenly inverting and attacking
Your interior). It isn't sadness simple;
It isn't grief unmixed nor agenbite
Of inwit. Saint Theresa says that
The pain of God setting your soul on fire
Isn't really melancholy either. Durer
Thought melancholy had a beard
All that's known for certain is that
Melancholy is cold, dry, dark and heavy.
Lucifer's been called the first melancholic
But insists that was God, not him. "This was,"
He says, "back before the first day so there
Was no light; the mistake was natural."
