Dark, squinched up like the bud of a violet,
\nit breathes humbly, tucked among tuffs of moss
\nwhich follow the slope still slick with love’s gloss
\nfrom pale ass cheek to the rim of its eyelet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Filaments like tears of cream cry out askant
\nagainst gusts of foul wind driving them astray
\nthrough fields strewn with clots of reddish clay
\ntill they peter out down the enticing slant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My dream is to butt to its suction cup.
\nMy soul, for actual coitus hard up,
\nseeks out this gutter, this nest of tears.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Swooning olive gland, flute for which to pine,
\n<\/span>tube from which slides celestial praline,
\na feminine Canaan within a mat of hairs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After the poem attributed to Rimbaud in the Pl\u00e9iades<\/em> edition, purportedly co-authored with Paul Verlaine. A parody of the blason<\/a> sub-genre, in particular a series of poems by Albert M\u00e9rat.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obscur et fronc\u00e9 comme un \u0153illet violet,<\/em>
\nIl respire humblement tapi parmi la mousse.<\/em>
\nHumide encor d’amour, qui suit la rampe douce<\/em>
\nDes fesses blanches jusqu’au bord de son ourlet.<\/em><\/p>\n

Des filaments pareils \u00e0 des larmes de lait<\/em>
\nOnt pleur\u00e9 sous l’autan cruel qui les repousse<\/em>
\n\u00c0 travers de petits caillots de marne rousse,<\/em>
\nPour s’aller perdre o\u00f9 la pente les appelait.<\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nMon r\u00eave s’aboucha souvent \u00e0 sa ventouse ;<\/em>
\nMon \u00e2me, du co\u00eft mat\u00e9riel jalouse,<\/em>
\nEn fit son larmier fauve et son nid de sanglots.<\/em><\/p>\n

C’est l’olive p\u00e2m\u00e9e et la fl\u00fbte c\u00e2line,<\/em>
\nLe tube d’o\u00f9 descend la c\u00e9leste praline,<\/em>
\nChanaan f\u00e9minin dans les moiteurs enclos.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
