(To Maurizio Pollini’s rendition of Debussy’s 2nd prelude of book II)
Wake wondrous, wicked and weep Stake boldly banal and bleak Ecstasy elongated, emergent, evanescing Incubated, advertised, origamied Uncelebrated, euphemized
Jelly of gelatinous moonscapes Crawling, coveted, concubines Bathed in lascivious orthodoxy Headdress of puritanical redress Cream of bras and seething baby powder Rashes in red moist cavernous folded Dreams engulf the wanton John At the amusement park of oral Raindrops of destiny
