I need your strong body tonight...
"Arch inverted: white peony
and stamens, yellow. Center
of the body. Imagines.
Who is absent.
Fingers in my mouth—memory.
Dragonfly so blue in the head.
Orange, as fire, in the body.
Wings, transparence. Disappearing arms.
The space where he was. Aureole.
The space he is, she was.
And the opposite.
Defines the dragon which flies.
Iridescent where it was.
Echo of hued wings. "
