Reynolds & Midway 56

My odalisque be narrow, lithely gilt

at tail, but swiveld @ her centre, made

of goodly stuff, and mayhap she will tilt

just so, adornd with diamond emerald—

a prick—a sapphire black obsidian

and there, just there below meridian

beneath and to the west & east that white

enamel nub prest out against the sheath

of velvet satin olive alabaster

Rotormobile, savage, pigeon-toed

and knobby kneed, not splayd:

No waddling duck for this sick drake

of twisted form, not made for sportive trix

his spine 19° curved left for sin

@ 15, lockt in padded corsetbrace

in pimpled shame, in bumping corridors

hard plastic puppetboy, strapt in, tied up|

Thy odalisque be slender, spider-leggd,

come cherrytopt & cherrylipt and slay

us, brown black Dian Artemis O silver

horn, we watching in a thorny thicket:

Horny hunters, thou in Grecian glade

nimroddy toms, we peeping, run us thru

Thou odalisque O comely concubines

my slim & limber troupe

of cantaloupian musky melon loves

in closely clusterd groups like grapes

and bunches of well rinded fruits

of yellow, tan, or tawny

flesh O mellow meat O no !
