Marie d’Égypte’s Autobiography: A Preface<br />

A showy wine<br />

propels out jism,<br />

so it streaks white<br />

a cunt’s dark hairs,<br />

and the bouboun 5 *<br />

looks zebra striped.<br />

Screwing sluices sweat<br />

cheerfully down the backbone’s gutter,<br />

while the man’s sticky, colourless emission<br />

helps Negress whelp a creamy child.<br />

I was said to slink about,<br />

stinking, sluttish, and (fuck all),<br />

giggling, wild, brutish, and braying loud<br />

at slapping squish of genitals—<br />

the sloppy, happy conjunction—<br />

as I cashed in on goatish, loutish coitus,<br />

revolting as fish guts,<br />

preferring “Triple X” to the “True Cross.”<br />

Yes, I evolved a carte-blanche Négritude,<br />

and was touchy as sunlight,<br />

while suckling on vineyards,<br />

and dreaming of the lavender sea,<br />

and uncaring about penitents flocking bout—<br />

to see “a dusky, dirty slut” transform<br />

into a saint,<br />

pledged to comfort whores and sailors.<br />

But my beauty is light, arousing, arousing.<br />

Beauty is also a blessing, messieurs.<br />

[Windsor (Ontario) 5 octobre mmxiii]<br />
