A tulip-like organ: calyx, the omnivorous creature

Flowers-glands
Secrete thick redness
The hormone of painting

A tulip-like organ: calyx, the omnivorous creature
Unclenched, unseemly
Deckled and cool in the outside
Compact and warm inside
Don’t you even dare touch in there!

Poppies, drops of red
Drumming upon the picture’s tightened skin
Raise up your head
Open your mouth
And you’ll sense the taste of blood

4

Pearly-chilly
Glassily-innocent
The frost has branded them
With violet, on the pane

5

You blue-eyed
You sunny-maned
Rape me
And carry me
Someplace else
