AMOUR FOU – Homage to André Breton by Rik Lina
Ana Orozco
after mad love (for Breton & Bem)
my husband with the hair of egyptian ink
my husband with the skin of jaipur silver anklets
my husband with the tongue of socrates’ hemlock
my husband with the chest of a venerated grimoire
my husband with the eyes of an aquamarine amulet
my husband with the lips of a vesper rose
my husband with the mouth of shisha smokerings
my husband with the voice of a golden god undressing pyramids
my husband with the heart of a luna moth sleeping in amber quaalude
my husband with the heart of a papier-mâché piñata
my husband with the heart of a siberian tiger’s jaws

i
to sequel the pupil
of a somatic metaphrase
into the akashic pinyon
ii
the kohl-box basilica
narrating its chemistry
over the bulldozed skeleton
of a mesopotamian jalousie
iii
in the circadian praxis;
the omega steel of neuron
razors will tailspin
machetes – julienne
our cavalier lotus eaters
iv
we contract the panoply
a pornography of
a colonial osmosis
husking the thistle
crow of each aborigine
v
dementia when photographed
slithers through
a lava lamp unfolding
a kaleidoscopic litmus
