The Mind Is Its Own Beautiful Prisoner

the mind is its own beautiful prisoner.

Mind looked long at the sticky moon

opening in dusk her new wings

 

then decently hanged himself,one afternoon.

 

The last thing he saw was you

naked amid unnaked things,

 

your flesh,a succinct wandlike animal,

a little strolling with the futile purr

of blood;your *** squeaked like a billiard-cue

chalking itself,as not to make an error,

with twists spontaneously methodical.

He suddenly tasted worms windows and roses

 

he laughed,and closed his eyes as a girl closes

her left hand upon a mirror.
