NATALIE CLIFFORD BARNEY (1876-1972)

Tell me Priestess
When your nimble fingers tore the lace, and your pearly teeth the skin,
Did their virgin cheeks match the roses in the garden?
When the velvet drapes of evening sent you off to savour sleep,
Did the persian kitten lick the blood off the temple steps?
Priestess, tell me!
