Hang on me my darling like rubies round my neck. Slip onto my finger like a ring. Give me your rose for my button-hole. Let me leaf through you before I read you out loud.
Picasso warms my freezing heart on the furnace of her belly. Her belly is stoked to blazing with love of me. I have learned to feed her every day, to feed her full of fuel that I gladly find. I have unlocked the storehouses of love. On the Mainland they teach you to save for a rainy day. The truth is that love needs no saving. It is fresh or not at all. We are fresh and plentiful. She is my harvest and I am hers. She seeds me and reaps me, we fall into one another's laps. Her seas are thick with fish for my rod. I have rodded her through and through.
She is painting today. The room is orange with effort. She is painting today and I have written this.
