from Notes on Melancholia
[trouble]
the mermaids making promises again
the night when her body on the ship named nightingale
honey-milk the world surrounding the infant hidden in the infant’s song
the polygamy of eurynome’s daughters
the air in love with the lute of the evangelist
canal girls their pale smile
heliodorus the inbred one
madeleine who loves barbary horse
dolores vagrant her hand reaching out for the cock of the young expat
one wing what spiders love
sluttish neglected habit
simple paper the breast of winter loosening the tongue of the poet
the three friends in the video game trench
molotov cocktails flying like ripe strawberries
blue helmets where the blue wall should be
and the ghastly portion of himself which made her moan
the ear the erotic appendage
the tax upon the study of light
the maestro confessing with a silent mandolin
so lovely the tutor teaching about affection
fur
the chestnut droppings of the interpreter
according to chrysostom the canopy of the mind of fire
the artist mustachioed giving kisses
dear flowered faces your flowered faces are huge
