Gampi Dialog

He: Only as the written word subsides
does the veiled older chamber
begin to speak.

She: Away with my lace-curtain!
I wish she spoke as rare as bleeding steak
and suitable for cannibals with truffles.
You make me hungry,
but the cupboard is bear.

He: In tongues and hands,
she marks her way among the bares
with red-rubbed ciphers sticky with the honey color
of cadmium and odorous rose madder
ground from roses.

....All this stolen from the backside
of her father's book!!!!!

She: I am all tears even so;
for as a lidless dinosaur I can only dream
the coming of the rain!! (though little
do the andro-so-called-sapiens know of that!)
But can I dream then long enough
to see the gotterdamerung
beyond the doldrums of mens' villainy?

He: May her veiled eyes see head-free
as her fingers touch the loamy source.

She: (yielding)......

Third Voice: Fleet-tongued
Daphne flees barefoot
to the woods
and safety
transforming herself
nimbly
into the soft leaved
gampi tree....

He (over-turned): Inflation is definitely a problem....

She: Seedless and bastard born
his words come sweet
immaculate
and bare the pyth
and fruit of history
without its bulk.
