46
the presented knee
of chivalry
repells
the sub-umbilical mystery
of his husbandry
- hysterically
His passionate anticipation
of warming in his arms
his rose to a maturer colouration
which was all of aspiration
the grating upon civilization
of his sensitive organism
had left him
splinters upon an adamite
opposition
of nerves like stalactites
This dying chastity
had rendered up no soul - -
Yet they pursued their congugal
dilemmas as is usual
with people
who know not what they do
but know that what they do
- - is not illegal
Deep in the nevrose
night he
peruses this body
divested of its upholstery
firmly insensitive
in mimicry
of its hypothetical model
a petal
of the English rose
