that good sour soup.
I want breasts singing like eggplants,
and a mouth above making kisses.
I want nipples like shy strawberries
for I need to suck the sky.”

Make their blood dance and chain their eyes;
That bugle-music on the breeze
Arrests them with a charmd surprise.
Banner by turns and bugle woo:
Ye shy recluses, follow too!”
