a flash, a sudden monstrous smile
shivering electric starlets of spit
a rosy aereole and ivory teeth covered
with musky yellow glaze
like torn pages of blake unearthed in a casket
beneath raging whirpools of deep green
crowned softly by twined gold and all ribbony slithing
thin and aetherial, laughing breezely and sweating
dancing, dancing! to frazzled surfs, thundering melodies
spinning pirrhouettes with her skeletal fingers
from torn red skirt of wine twirling with each flight, lightning!
the pretty trapeze-artist-girl daaancing!
dancing beside me!
like a cat that landed from a steeple
to her feet, into a bed of flame
