Resembling a Cock Vesta, image by Irene Koronas
Cento for Vesta
(remix
of Keats’ Endymion, book IV, lines 650-720; Miller's Tropic of
Cancer pp. 9-11, Shakespeare's Sonnets, Verse 23 and Graves’ Caligula)
Mossy
phantasm
blow-worn
volcano
light
enough
to see
let
my looks be
then
the
eloquence
the
monstrous
swell of
pure elysium
her
gnarled rotten
whole
anything
resembling
a cock
Vesta
in
perfect seizure
un-torn
only
gods are
privileged
to
behold
one another
wormiest
wonder
with
fiddle-string
torture
eye
pleasure.
