Poetics colours of France – I Red

Vowels
-Arthur Rimbaud

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;

(see Photo Gallery)


I, bloody spittle, laughter dribbling from a face, 
In wild denial or in anger
