Mystical Pornography and the Lesbian Birds 


A)

being your strychnine horizon Madame Negativo  hell’s bells       a Lucifer tooth 
    all the arsenic of winter in a salt shaker              
         Old Yeller in a ribcage
 rabid as ice burn      the salt tossed over left shoulder
  fainting the flesh faints  in harpsichord  mirrors   against a stone  Victorian pathway
 You must proper her finger rings     all index         terrorist chatter all purr   your kitty cat in fox fur    
      hot pink wearer        orgasm-toned skin tone on the dial  “please this and that”   
  on your blood wolf’s ripped paw her snare snout but
           you’re so curious you
    to yoke these interiors:        a cinema, a criminal, an almond, her doubles
 in Goddard’s eyeball or       

  	1. Lowww-leeeee-tahhhh in bikini of confectioner’s sugar  
     	2. a contestant with six black rings on her face

  caught in the act of     “her Adriatic scarves are long pillars of blondes parted and parted”   underneath “please, this and that”     is a telephone booth of stale snow
                 
being your she    the wishy-washy words of a church reverend who was her father
         who was her father?
  an icefall of tungsten   a combustible      a hester pryne mouth of puss
   yoo-hoo yonder yodeler    the mountains are south
of here and	
pick a number between one and seven says she’s a glorified misnomer  
  really a deaf-mute who     cut open her stitches with a pair of left handed scissors
 on the Phonograph Table


B)


Listen up, Buttercup: two men fell fast           forward.
One from a bicycle 
and one from the handlebars of No Home.
I was between them. 
No more precious sexed than the oyster’s pearl.
Contorting my aorta and the other shoots like Shiva’s fan of blue arms
