Incandescent will--- to forgive youth its brevity!--- To alight the summer's maze, and inscape the outward bower (Crowded with the loud lopped roundnesses of bees) And verve to rediscover all blood's white hilarity 5 (Super-attenuated supernatural power)--- In the passing of this passioned blossom, violet Ranging every decaying shade to black-brushed death, The dark backward collapse of veins, and after To in-breathe in owning nostrils, high and hard, to let 10 This scented tomb upon my palm invigorate my breath! As a wilding god among the coal-folded valleys I came, overturning tenderly the violet's motioned growth By the ransacking lightnings of my mind's designs Returning tarred Time from its monotonous pitch 15 From birth to prime, renewing this velvetest skin: To untouched youth pulled back, seeds in my mouth unspoken, Like shouted prayers kept in a cracking heart Germinating nothing unless I sighed, and I was happy.
