Pale heave of heavy ***** with each blossom of panting breath--blue roads of veins line the tops of tender ******* the hair on the head a straw-colored pigeon's nest unbrushed and dull-- the eyes are sunken and darkened like Cleopatra and Isis beneath light and gentle brow-- the lips soft and pink like the skin of a babe and the light of the Crucifixion-- rosebuds, rosebuds, darling rosebuds! Reach out into empty silent air spread out on the velvet sheets to become scarlet and inflamed.

Pale heave of heavy ***** with each blossom of panting breath--blue roads of veins line the tops of tender ******* the hair on the head a straw-colored pigeon's nest unbrushed and dull-- the eyes are sunken and darkened like Cleopatra and Isis beneath light and gentle brow-- the lips soft and pink like the skin of a babe and the light of the Crucifixion-- rosebuds, rosebuds, darling rosebuds! Reach out into empty silent air spread out on the velvet sheets to become scarlet and inflamed.
