for Stephane Mallarme and
Polygonia satyrus [Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae]

perpetual
nymph-work

the
first
description's
narrow sea
cloven

which us?
faun fleece
thicket senses

by the distance
and water Trago-
Pan in the Reeds

which had made
th'is
follow already

animal waves whiteness

until
in the limpidity
of did

Satyrodes eurydice
antique hush proofless

pipes
the swollen sane
our life's
gavage

kiss perfidious modulates

to close two theatres
idolatrous confusions surrounding
Ankh upon the Sprechstimme

tusks transparent
unsheathed and hollow
with sonorous
Braque-ish marshes

All our caricatures
shimmer splendid forest neck
naiad, Verfremdung-rumour
of shapeless pity
fig
less of nymph-legged goats
or
sacred monstrous burden of nudity

all-with-blow
of the polished hats
of the year

new olympia
wild mud virgin rubied
upon
Hawthorne's marble

ruine ambulante

gone
laughter's sister
still drunk
in troubled suns

dromos panic Enodia
or immortal larva

a festival of ashes
settle
on golden magma

flesh flashes innocence
heavy tears
of thunder flowered havoc
