vinice breathing

sexual heires of sex and violence

in the purple evening silence

venice dreaming of a partner



velour arms with breasts of marble

from the cradle t the table

coax this naked treasure

from your saviour



come swim into my love

come swim into my life



divine blasphemer

tempting--over beads of jism

with a scarlet catechism

her lips will answer

(oh, her lips will answer)



how to be ther perfect stranger

the perfect lover

wanting

and as you'll discover

giving

and as you'll discover

being



come swim into my love

come swim into my life



enter this sublime erosion

venice drowning in emotion



the body stirs

and is reanimated

but only briefly--

and that life is very brief



venice drowning

venice drowning

venice drowning

venice drowning
