Winged Victory

Defile that Carrara A nude woman stands for the universe All of her names end with “A” Then her eyes… Hail to You Bone of your arm — … … … … … … …… ..such dignity erasing these wasted years Café du Neant Kohl tell tales without words Pricked finger? Flame of taper? No matter of consequence Brandy cherries wink as they decompose in sealed jars “cabs outside the door” Caesura A wheel … … … ..in a rut jerks back my girl hedges, then … … … … … ..sky “down covers her thighs” Impression of small animal … … … … … … …carcass covered with blue bottles “–Epicurean–”
