Dark Poet, a maid's breast Haunts you, Embittered poet, life seethes And life burns, And the sky reabsorbs itself in rain, Your pen scratches at the heart of life.
Forest, forest, alive with your eyes, On multiple pinions; With storm-bound hair, The poets mount horses, dogs.
Eyes fume, tongues stir, The heavens surge into our senses Like blue mother's milk; Women, harsh vinegar hearts, I hang suspended from your mouths. Napoleon Antonin Artaud, 1927
