from Sea-Shell Laughter

the three flowering heirs rock on their vanilla stalks
the feather swims in the mirror with the navel of light
laugh with your arms
three flowers offer a nubile diamond to the celestial glove
laugh laugh laugh like the diamonds
the flowers wear gloves of light
the navel goes about in sulphur slippers
dandyish sweetness
curls of down
petrification of thrills
vegetation of exhumed breath
geometric fire
laugh laugh laugh like the vanilla
the three flowers offer their gloves to the navels
the three flowering heirs deceive their pearls
the three pearls are caught in the mechanism of the roses
