~ LIQUIDITY
...à la Rimbaud
Like a seraph sitting at a bar
I live clutching a ribbed glass
Under a sky swollen by soaring sails
In me inaccessible dreams,
Like hot excrements
From an old dovecote
Make sweet burns into my skin
And my tender heart
Is gradually sapwood
The young gold sun
Bathing in blood
And when I have carefully swallowed
Each and every dream again
I turn around
With so much fire into my veins
And prepare to release the acrid need
Soft as the Lord of cedar and hyssope
I piss highest and farthest
Towards tedious heaven
With the large heliotropes
Consenting.
