Romance of the Rose

Her Experiment in Desire

Refutation of conspiracy cult of domesticity
she a blue [rarity] butterfly from the hills of Jack London
not extinct nor facing it
breaks into her poetic memoir I close my eyes so that I can see it
people think I am sleeping       I close my eyes so that I can see it
never takes a bad photograph always a glam shot
 photogenic woman looks like she just got

through frolicking in a dewy meadow
wind and flowers tousled curls
or just out of being laid up
from a cottage bedded with a pipe smoky man with a beard and lungs
I close my eyes so that I can see it
she is in an enclosed space a forest movement
porcelain paisley decorum hand rakes and shovels
iron fist with a velvet glove

Story of O According to Foucault (audio file)

Story of O According to Foucault

Christwire [found words]

.....the word...makes sure that we know everyone knows on no uncertain
Hippies are spreading "foul diseases"
"organize secret radical cells on their very own soils"
refuse to shop at Target or study Reagonomics
"Drawing blood from blood oaths from the innocent or feeble minded"
pushing toward socialist dictatorships in oxymoronic frenzies
"In the darkness engage in most vile bestial acts"
useful idiots carry out their rituals [before being sacrificed]
banging away in drum circles
clogging up the courts

Christwire has been on a major bummer since college days
no one invited Christ to all the cool parties
Tree Faeries enchanted evenings
purple haze
 the eve of Beltane

Beauty and Chastity Find No Peace

Beauty:

find no peace charity from breast

around her neck cranes prick blood to feed

offspring from her breast blood

trickles into gems a price above rubies

ten years in biological and betrothed

an artist paints her as she will be

if she lives through the child births

tormented face distorted is used

Chastity:

find no peace attacks herself

 bleeds out beauty drained in waiting

for princes suckling’s demon breasts

refrain from banishing

eye of lynxes rush at her mace

brood over the wretched

tried for sodomy

sentenced to death

if leave him take another

kill beauty she kill you with her

dress for hot weather when it’s not

dress for cold weather when it’s hot
