IMMENSE BREAST OF THE HUGE SEA (1920)
then the sea-girls (seagulls)
lifting up their redder than the jewel the secret word to the seaman's will
though the heavens harden the treasure hung down
rounded a piercing reed a blue-edged sword
a great battle ax consumes me
sticky, salty sweetness, the slow withering
offspring of breasts that are empty
skirt as flighty as a wing
I am a naughty lamb
giving sphery grapes their sheen
The wood is talking in its sleep, branches finger the leaning moon
a marriage bed of moist green mould, kisses of her mouth like dew
pure as a naked flame, blue veins of morning glories,
elfin-softly, the bluebells rang wild, wet words as beauty came:
in the rainbow?
in the sunlight? in the rain

watered by mist and lashed
fierce milk drips the wilted anger of her scarlet lips
slim, high-bosomed maidens bring flesh
thrust to the sky one red, rebellious branch
some reach and climax, warped threshold
of your mouth
prows, creamed with foam
out with the suns, throb loud
let me rest
and close
