365/67- Poetry Monday: "Vowels"

Within my 365 project, each Monday I'll post a picture inspired by/related to a poem. This is my 5th Poetry Monday. - In this case, better Viewed On Black

 

A black, E white, I red, U green, O blue: vowels,

I'll tell, one day, your secret origins:

A, black hairy corset of dazzling flies

That buzz around cruel stinks,

 

Shadow gulfs; E, ingenuousness of steams and tents,

Proud glacier spears, white kings, shivers of umbels;

I, purples, spat blood, laugh of beautiful lips

In anger or penitent exhilarations;

 

U, cycles, divine vibrations of viridian seas,

Peace of pastures seeded with animals, peace of wrinkles

That alchemy prints on great studious brows;

 

O, supreme Bugle full of strange shrillnesses,

Silences crossed by Worlds and Angels:

— O the Omega, violet ray of These Eyes!

 

Vowels by A. Rimbaud
