THE TAPIR

An anonymous poem

LITTLE cleft of coral

Grown about with daffodils;

Fountain of porphyry

Where the waters of Helicon gust,

I would drink at your waters,

Entwining my tongue

About the clitoral erubescence

Of your most secret passion.

Winding in and out

Draining, drawing,

Curving about the sardonyx mouth

Of the sacred urn;

Drinking, O delicious!

O thirsty devouring of viscous moon-beams,

Of mucilaginous starlight.

I gather your two rosebuds

And strip their petals

While eating your thrice extracted honeycomb,

NOW

O falling stars. . . .

Bathed in your liquid loveliness

Anointed with your adorable essence.
