 SONG Of Afternoon [ by Charly B. ]
 Though your malicious eyebrows give You a strange air Which
 is not that of an angel,
 Sorcière with the enticing eyes,
 I adore you,
 ô my frivolous,
 My terrible passion!
 With the devotion Of the priest for his idol.
 The desert and the forest Embaument tre hard braids,
 Your head adopts the attitudes Of the enigma and the
 secrecy.
 On your flesh the perfume rôde As around one encensoir;
 You charm like the evening,
 Nymphe dark and hot.
 Ah!
 the strongest philtres are not worth your idleness,
 And you know the caress Which rivivre makes deaths!
 Your hips are in love With your back and your centres,
 And delighted the cushions By your languorous
 installations.
 Sometimes,
 to alleviate Your mysterious rage,
 You lavish,
 serious,
 the bite and to kiss it;
 You tear me,
 my brown,
 With a mocking laugh,
 And then you put on my heart Your soft eye like the moon.
 Under your satin shoes,
 Under your charming feet of silk,
 Me,
 I put my great joy My genius and my destiny,
 My heart by you cured,
 By you,
 light and color!
 Explosion of heat In my black Siberia!

Flipping through Baudelaires _Les Fleurs du Mal_,
I was struck that he has two predominant topics:
The one as expected, celebrates autoerotiks, but
another celebrates his half-black harlot mistress.

His heart, joy, genius, and the vial of his
philtre would be his own gemital; the satin
shoes hers (comparing the sickle-in-slipper
ancient symbol signifying intercourse).

She is found in that dog on the sidelines
waiting for her piece of the carcass, in
_Carrion_; like that yapping dog when the
shepard is at the portal in Zarathustra.

This mention of cure reminds me of a gloss on
someone (... tick tock tick tock tick tock ...
Sorry, your time is up. The answer was ....?)
to whom "The Fall" appears as alternately
remediable and repeatable, indefinitely.

Yours truly,
Glenn Scheper
