Butterfly over the Colossus (1960)


III


Oh ducky, what happens after me dear, to the mocked

And afflicted char ladies, who wife the researches

Into the size of individuals, the thick and the thin,

In the slaughterhouse of marriage and the mantelpiece

Tired, but still going strong, the butter-fly, combs

The rocks of the digestive system and the inner psyche

Sipping the nectar of the necropolis, then thriving

Like paddockstools, sucking nourishment from shite

Capping lewis with daughters and poisoning the future

What I really want is a spice girl to come out and declare
