Vowels

Black A, white E, red I, green U, blue O - vowels,

Some day I will open your silent pregnancies:

A, black belt, hairy with burst flies,

Bumbling and buzzing over stinking cruelties,

Pits of night; E, candour of sand pavilions,

High glacial spears, white kings, trembling Queen

       Anne's lace;

I, bloody spittle, laughter dribbling from a face

In wild denial or in anger, vermilions;

U,…divine movement of viridian seas,

Peace of pastures animal-strewn, peace of calm lines

Drawn on foreheads worn with heavy alchemies;

O, supreme Trumpet, harsh with strange stridencies,

Silences traced in angels and astral designs:

O…Omega…the violet light of His Eyes!
