the
blossoms were (chinese art)
Moaning in the jagged jade of sunshine
Swinging the parasols of God's fingers
On Ezra Pound's bow the peach burst
And the Perfume of sex mingled in the grass
of dead maidens' dynasties.
When the rising sun of mind's glare shuttered
The bits scattered glowing on the arid hills
In the morning consolations
Human limbs swayed in hell's hallucinari
Over pain killer's exposed tongue
It rolled out imagery's art
Then ah
It
was Byron's cur Lion
God
to hear him over his friend's pyre
The
boiling sea filled harare's fountain
And
lion philosophised "Eureka",
From
my twin thumbs
Twin
bolts of blue flame's incense
Spurt
out in chinese grace...
Too
late, the body of the fire
Smouldering,
and Heine's
Hair
stood in Africa Unity Square.
And blood dribbled from the blossoms
(Love today it's not a wish).
