Excerpt

Kept me high for weeks, I even had A sort of trance for you A day in a dentist’s chair. I found you again, gone stone, In Zimmer’s book of Indian Art: Dancing in that life with Grace and love, with rings And a little golden belt, just above Your naked snatch And I thought—more grace and love In that wild Deva life where you belong The in this dress-and-girdle life You’ll ever give Or get.
