Mother of quartz, your words writhe into my ear.
Renew the light, lewd whisper.


"The Shape of the Fire," ll. 54 - 55 - The Lost Son and Other Poems (1948)


Mother of quartz, your words writhe into my ear. Renew the light, lewd whisper.

Mother of quartz, your words writhe into my ear. Renew the light, lewd whisper.

Mother of quartz, your words writhe into my ear. Renew the light, lewd whisper.

Mother of quartz, your words writhe into my ear. Renew the light, lewd whisper.
