There is an insect that people avoid
(Whence is derived the verb 'to flee').
HE surely must be wrong who loving fears;
And does not flee when beauty first appears.
Alas! if I think of her, my throat becomes dry, my hand falls back, my breasts harden and
Come to my grave when I am gone,
And bend a moment there alone;
To this moment a rebel I throw down my arms,
Great Love, at first sight of Olinda's bright charms.
Love again: wanking at ten past three
(Surely he's taken her home by now?),
Why am I so frightened
To say I'm me
Through driving mists I seemed to see
A Thing that smirked and smiled:
she whose crime destroyed it, like the last
flower of the field,
Scorch'd by her fierce, relentless eye,
Nothingness is my destiny!
Snakeskin jacket
Indian eyes
Then old Mother Brown got the horrors around her:
(I think it was pineapple-rum drove her daft)
Look where we worship. We all live in the city.
The city forms- often physically, but inevitably
ah, christ, what a CREW:
more
SOMEWHERE--in desolate wind-swept space--
In Twilight-land--in No-man's land--
by God, I don't know what to
do.
But accept endearments in return for the wine
or whatever’s sweeter and finer:
A spot of poontang on a five-foot piece,
Diminutive, but room enough . . like clay
god I got the sad blue blues,
this woman sat there and she
WHEN on the sandy shore I sit,
Beside the salt sea-wave,
Whilst one might trace, with half an eye,
The still triumphant carrot through
here comes the fishhead singing
here comes the baked potato in drag
Goddesse of Nimphs, and honour of thy kinde,
This Age's Phoenix, Beautie's richest bower.
Vulcan, contrive me such a cup
As Nestor used of old;
Dark-eyed, out of the snow-cold sea you came,
The young blood under the cheek like dawn-light showing,
WITH saddest music all day long
She soothed her secret sorrow:
TAKE as you will, slake, solace, and possess
While Youth, with laughter, scatters tears that fall
Under the sheet of transparent wool we slipped, she and I. Even our heads were sunk
His duties are to pinch, and poke,
And squeeze them till they nearly choke.
You'll bare your bones you'll grow you'll pray you'll only know
When the light appears, boy, when the light appears
