The common place
Oh how warm it is
oh how moist it is
your soft-boiled
blood-sprinkled
eye-catching
blackness
I'm thunder
She's wonder
Oh how steep it is
your wooded
suck-loving dexterous
your cosmic
shepherd's staff
your burnt
yet burning leech
your thick lip
an order, your
hungry year
I uncover the picturesque
open-work of pasture
I fill the aquarium
with a watery world and excitement
I draw both aloud and from memory
every letter is the first letter
in the alphabet of phallusophy
aleph.

Ewald Osers
