A love song to a snake.
Girl's First Love Song
What's in the net? I feel
Frightened and shaken!
Is it a sweet-slipping eel
Or a snake that I've taken?
Love's a blind fisherman,
Love cannot see;
Whisper the child, then,
What would love me?
It leaps in my hands! This is
Anguish unguessed.
With cunning and kisses
It creeps to my breast.
It bites me, O wonder!
Worms under my skin.
My heart bursts asunder,
I tremble within.
Where go and where hide me?
The shuddersome thing
Rages inside me,
Then sinks in a ring.
What poison can this be?
O that spasm again!
It burrows in ecstasy
Till I am slain.

Girl's Second Love Song [excerpt]
Your eyes roll dangerouslyas points of stars
prick those rheumy orbs
tears of milk and madness
trickling...
I ram my fingers in
you bellow;
Love, love, my dark continent.
