The image negative on the back of my eyes

A butterfly lands on the concrete then flies

Up towards the clouds in the sky

Petal-filled gaps between bluestone paths

Like mango fibres caught between molars

Compress me underfoot — violet jacarandas

I am over-run, jungled in my bed, I am infested with a menagerie of desires: my heart is eaten by a dove, a cat scrambles in the cave of my sex, hounds in my head obey a whipmaster who cries nothing but havoc as the hours test my endurance with an accumulation of tortures. Who, if I cried, would hear me among the angelic orders?
